Against All Odds: Armed Resistance in Auschwitz

TIME: 6:30 PM CT/7:30 PM ET | PLATFORM: Zoom | REGISTER bit.ly/2HKbhUN

In answer to the unimaginable suffering and torment of Auschwitz, the only response some prisoners could abide was armed resistance. Join Dr. Robert Jan Van Pelt, internationally recognized authority on the history of Auschwitz, as he details the intricate deception, compelling confrontations, and bold escape stories of the Jewish, Romani, Polish and Soviet POWs prisoners that fought back with the weapons of courage, ingenuity, the will to survive, and the resolve to save others or to die trying.

This program is the second in a series exploring armed resistance during the Holocaust, made possible with the generous support of Harvey L. Miller and Jack Miller, in loving memory of their parents, Ida and Ben Miller, and their brother, Arnold Miller.
