Join us for a powerful screening of “Resistance: They Fought Back,” a groundbreaking documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Paula S. Apsell, senior executive producer emerita of NOVA.
This compelling film shatters the enduring myth that Jews went passively to their deaths during the Holocaust. Through survivor testimony, expert interviews, and on-location footage from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Israel, and the U.S., the film brings to light the widespread—yet often overlooked—acts of Jewish resistance against Nazi brutality. From armed uprisings in ghettos and death camps to non-violent defiance across Eastern Europe, “Resistance” is a passionate, deeply researched refutation of Holocaust denial and historical erasure.
Following the screening, we will be joined by Paula Apsell for a conversation about the making of the film and the vital importance of reclaiming these lost stories. Enjoy wine and cheese as we gather for this post-film discussion, offering space for reflection, connection, and conversation.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with a vital, rarely told chapter of Jewish resilience and resistance—and to reflect on its relevance today in the face of rising antisemitism.
