Expressing Humanity: Rescue and Resistance

Echoes & Reflections' webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

At its core, resistance is an expression of humanity and preserving one’s commitment to agency in the face of the worst expressions of dehumanization. In this webinar, led by Program Manager and co-developer of new units, Jesse Tannetta, explore the concept of Jewish resistance, and non-Jewish rescue efforts. These ranged from cultural and spiritual resistance in the ghettos to armed resistance of partisans and ghetto and camp prisoners - focusing on the period from the establishment of the ghettos through the implementation of the “Final Solution.”
