Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation

most people have never heard of the 20,000-30,000 jews who fought back against the nazis as jewish partisans. these jews were responsible for blowing up thousands of armored convoys and thwarting the nazi war machine in countless ways, including rescuing people from the ghettos, procuring food and medicine, tending to wounded soldiers, sabotaging german communications and supply lines, punishing collaborators, sheltering civilians and saving thousands of jewish lives. learning about who these partisans were and what they accomplished has the power to transform people's perception of the jewish experience during the holocaust. the jewish partisan educational foundation (jpef) has produced a comprehensive and thought-provoking curriculum called resist, designed to transmit the enduring understandings arising from the stories of the jewish partisans. with layers of interactivity unprecedented in most any curriculum, resist is designed for 6th – 12th grade students in formal and informal
