Faye Schulman was an ordinary teenager when the Nazis invaded her small town on the Russian-Polish border. She had a large, loving family, good friends and neighbours, most of whom were soon lost in the horrors of the Holocaust. But Faye survived, and the photographs she took testify to her experiences and the persecution she witnessed.<BR>Decorated for heroism, Schulman, now in her mid-seventies, tells an extraordinary story not just of survival but of struggle and resistance against oppression. In this amazing book Schulman talks about escaping from the Nazis, finding a partisan unit and proving her worth. She and her photographs speak eloquently about the experience of living and surviving for years in the woods, of learning to nurse the ill and wounded, and of taking up arms against those who brutally decimated her world.
