A Partisan’s Memoir

Woman of the Holocaust

By: Faye Schulman

Narrated by: Kathryn Alexandre

Faye tells her unforgettable story of heroism, hardship, and resistance. Faye was an ordinary teenager when the Nazis invaded her town on the Russian-Polish border. She had a large, loving family, good friends and neighbours, most of whom were lost soon after the horrors of the Holocaust began. But Faye survived, and the photographs she took testify to her experiences and the persecution she witnessed. Decorated for heroism, Schulman uses her biography to tell an extraordinary story not just of survival, but of struggle and resistance against oppression. She talks about escaping from the Nazis, finding a partisan unit and proving her worth. The photographs she took speak eloquently of her experience of surviving for years in the woods with the partisans. There she learned to nurse the ill and wounded, and took up arms against those who had decimated her world.

Critic reviews

“A truly remarkable book.” (The Jewish Tribune)

“An amazing book.” (CBC Radio)

Very real

Beautifully read and very informative. Well performed. A gripping book. I found this particularly insightful. Great book.

Great book. Tragic for the Jews.

What a young woman she was. Still a teen and fighting besides hardened partisans and being accepted by many . The Jewish happy lives before the nazis invaded shows such a contrast to what happened to her family . I highly recommend this audio and loved her IMAGE statements
