Resistance: They Fought Back

Educators are invited to a professional development workshop exploring Jewish resistance during the Holocaust through the film Resistance: They Fought Back and the accompanying educator resources developed by Humanus Network. This session introduces teachers to powerful primary sources—from the Ringelblum Archive and the Paper Brigade to partisan photographs, courier testimonies, and rare documentation from Treblinka, Sobibor, and Auschwitz—and models how to use them to build historical thinking and evidence based inquiry in the classroom. 

Participants will examine the film’s three “Books,” tracing unarmed, cultural, and armed resistance across ghettos, forests, and camps. Educators will leave with accurate historical content, practical strategies for teaching difficult material with sensitivity, and classroom tools that dispel persistent myths and illuminate the courage, agency, and humanity of Jews who resisted in every way possible.

Workshop Includes:

• 1.5 CPDU Hours
• Ready to Use Classroom Resources
