Women Warriors: Faye Schulman, Jewish Partisan and Photographer

I haven't done one of these for a while, but I came across the story of this fascinating woman recently.
Faye Lazabnik was born in 1919, and when the Germans arrived at the village where she lived in the Lenin ghetto in Poland in 1942, all of her family were killed, along with most of the rest of the inhabitants. She was spared because of her photographic skills - the Germans wanted her to develop their photos of the massacre. She had helped her brother Moishe with his photographic business before the War.
She managed to escape during a partisan raid, and joined the Molotava Brigade, a group of mainly Soviet Red Army escaped prisoners of war. She had some knowledge of medicine because another brother had been a doctor, and she served the group as a nurse for two years, along with a vet who was their doctor.
She managed to retrieve her photographic equipment during a raid on Lenin, and documented the partisan group with her photographs. She wanted to show that the Jews had not gone passively to their deaths, but had fought back.

Here she is with some of the Russian partisans - the picture has been colourised.

After the War, she married Morris Schulman, another partisan, and they emigrated to Canada in 1948, where she still lives in Toronto. She wrote a book about her experiences called A Partisan's Memoir: Woman of the Holocaust.
