JEWISH RESISTANCE IN FILM

Did the Jews fight back? For years, films about Jewish resistance in the Holocaust were relatively rare, focusing instead on the Jews as passive victims. Slowly, this image has been challenged and more nuanced portraits of Jews are being presented. In this webinar, Yad Vashem educator Dr. Rocco Giansante will present different films exploring how cinema has portrayed Jewish resistance, and will examine the strategies filmmakers use to reflect on different forms of resistance.
