BOOK & AUTHOR: “THE LIGHT OF DAYS: THE UNTOLD STORY OF WOMEN RESISTANCE FIGHTERS IN HITLER’S GHETTOS“

TIME: 3:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM ET | PLATFORM: Zoom | REGISTER: bit.ly/3m9Nhuq

The hidden resistance efforts of Jewish women in ghettos during Nazi occupation are one of the most extraordinary and often-overlooked stories about World War II and the Holocaust. The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos, the soon to be released book already optioned by Steven Spielberg for a major motion picture, shares the defiance and rebellion of women who worked together and risked their lives in the fight for justice and liberty.

The Light of Days shares an essential and inspirational truth for the cultural moment we’re living in today: small but essential victories are possible. 

We invite you to us for a conversation with The Light of Days author, Judy Batalion, about female agency in World War II and the Holocaust. Don’t miss her insights about the incredible trove of epic yet intimate resistance stories, revealing the ingenuity and tenacity of young women and underscoring how their movement was larger and more organized than the annals of history have recorded—until now.
