I teach an elective class, “The Holocaust & Human Behavior” and these are some of the baddies of the resistance that we discuss. I am personally fascinated with the women known as “The Rabbits” from Ravensbruck camp. Highly recommend deep dive if these ladies interest you. Also highly recommend “The Lights of Days” by Judy Batalion. It’s all about women of the resistance.

Also I’ve thought about posting on here about the lesser known parts of history I teach because I realize I was never taught 99% of what I teach so it’s really exciting seeing a history post get traction…makes me think I’ll take the plunge 😬

And the part where the men that went off with them were doing so because they were attracted to young girls in pigtails …..sounds pedophilic to me.

I wanna point out that many many nazi soldiers- particularly at the end of the war- were literally children. They had completely run through the population of young adults who could fight, and they started CHANGING THE YEARS ON BOYS BIRTH CERTIFICATES to make them soldiers “legally”. Boys as young as 12 were wearing those uniforms if they wanted to or not by the end.

I nearly cried upon reading this. I am constantly searching for accessible hope, and that’s exactly what this is.

That was awesome!!!! Thanks for this! Now I want to figure out how (as an old and not strong man) I can use the weaknesses of the enemy to our advantage. This was mega inspiring… thank you again!
