VIRTUAL: "The Girl Bandits of the Warsaw Ghetto" with Historian Elizabeth R. Hyman

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is one of the most storied events of the Holocaust, yet previous accounts of which have almost entirely focused on its male participants. In The Girl Bandits of the Warsaw Ghetto: The True Story of Five Courageous Young Women Who Sparked an Uprising, Holocaust historian Elizabeth Hyman introduces five young, courageous Polish Jewish women--known as the girls by the leadership of the resistance and bandits by their Nazi oppressors--who were central to the Jewish resistance as fighters, commanders, couriers, and smugglers.
