Join the Woodstock Film Festival on Yom HaShoah, the Jewish memorial day for the Holocaust, for a powerful documentary that shatters the myth of Jewish passivity, sharing the incredible true stories of partisans who defied the Nazis and fought for survival against all odds.

Following the film, Writer, Director, and Producer Julia Mintz will join us for a conversation. Charles Blaichman, son of one of the heroic partisans depicted in the film, will also share a few words.

ABOUT THE FILM:

"All I owned was my camera, leopard coat, rifle and a grenade in case I'm captured...the pillow was the rifle, the walls were the trees and the sky was the roof," says Faye Schulman, one of over 25,000 Jewish partisans, who fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of WWII's Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Belarus. Against extraordinary odds, they escaped Nazi slaughter, transforming from young innocents raised in closely knit families to courageous resistance fighters. Shattering the myth of Jewish passivity, the last surviving partisans tell their stories of resistance in FOUR WINTERS, revealing a stunning narrative of heroism and resilience.
