SUMMARY:WITH PEN AND PISTOL: HEROINES OF THE HOLOCAUST
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Lori Weintrob\nProfessor of History\, Founding Director of the Wagner College Holocaust Center\, Staten Island\, New York  \n“You do not know the extent of my courage\,” wrote Marianne Cohn defiantly after her arrest by the Gestapo for smuggling Jewish children to safety.  \nThousands of women trapped in Nazi-occupied Europe responded to persecution with extraordinary bravery and dignity. Among them were doctors\, nurses\, lawyers\, journalists\, educators\, artists and resistance fighters who risked their lives to save themselves and others. \nThis program highlights the courageous choices and powerful voices of Jewish and non-Jewish women who used pen and pistol in the fight against Nazi tyranny. \nThrough stories of rescue\, armed resistance\, and moral courage\, we will encounter remarkable women—including Zivia Lubetkin\, Vitka Kempner-Kovner\, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis\, Hadassah Rosensaft\, and Josephine Baker—whose actions continue to inspire us and whose legacies remind us of our responsibility to confront antisemitism\, hatred\, and injustice.
