Learn about the 30,000 Jews who fought back against the Nazi and their collaborators during the Holocaust and the many forms of Jewish resistance. Explore leadership, honor, and community responsibility during times of struggle with the Teaching with the Motion Picture Defiance study guide, based upon the real-life experiences of the Bielski Brigade. Learn how to incorporate JPEF’s materials into your classrooms during the coming school year and beyond. 

Use the film Defiance, starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber to explore History, Leadership, Ethics and Values. Participants will receive: 

• Defiance DVD with Excerpts — specially made for the classroom with interviews with Bielski partisans and the film’s director — suitable for student use. 

• Defiance / Bielski Partisans Curriculum — teacher’s guide to the DVD and excerpts, educational materials and lesson plans.
