DESCRIPTION:"The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in 
 Hitler’s Ghettos"\n\nSpeaker & Author:  Judy Batalion\n\nTuesday, April

 https://www.thecjm.org/programs/853\n\n"The Light of Days: The Untold Story 
 of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler's Ghettos" tells the true story of 
 the Jewish women and girls who served as resistance fighters during World 
 War II. The “ghetto girls” paid off Gestapo guards, hid revolvers in 
 loaves of bread and jars of marmalade, and helped build underground bunker 
 systems. They flirted with Nazis, bought them off with wine, whiskey, and 
 home cooking, and shot and killed them. They helped the sick and taught the 
 children; they bombed German train lines and blew up the water supply at 
 Vilnius.\n\nYears later, author Judy Batalion discovered the lost accounts 
 of these resistance fighters in a long out-of-print book from 1946—and 
 went on to record their story in "The Light of Days", which has now been 
 optioned for a major motion picture. \n\nJoin Batalion as she shares more 
 about the stories of these young Jewish women, how their history came to 
 light, and more in an afternoon of images, storytelling, and conversation. 
 Batalion will be joined in conversation by Marcel Lamont (M.L.) Walker, 
 lead artist and designer of CHUTZ-POW! SUPERHEROES OF THE HOLOCAUST. 
 \n\nThis program is presented in commemoration of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust 
 Remembrance Day) and in partnership with Book Passage and The Holocaust 
 Center of Pittsburgh.\n\n
