Easthampton Media to Screen Film about WWII Jewish Resistance Fighters
Four Winters tells the story of the fight against Nazis in Ukraine and Belarus
Easthampton Media will screen the documentary film, Four Winters, on Thursday, May 23, at 6:00 pm.
The address for the screening is:
Easthampton Media (in Eastworks) 116 Pleasant Street, Suite 102, Easthampton, MA 01027.
According to the Four Winters website, the film
“features interviews with the last living Partisans who are the centerpiece of this film.
“By also using personal photographs, letters, journals, rare archival film footage, historic war records, photographs, and artifacts shared with the filmmakers from Partisans’ personal collections, the documentarians weave together many strands to tell this layered story that shatters the myth of Jewish passivity. The film illuminates the many ways in which Jews resisted the Nazis -- and celebrates the soulful bravery, cleverness, and leadership, of the Partisans.
“Over 25,000 Jewish partisans fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of WWII’s Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Belarus. Against extraordinary odds, they escaped Nazi slaughter, transforming from young innocents to courageous resistance fighters. Shattering the myth of Jewish passivity, these last surviving partisans tell their stories of resistance in FOUR WINTERS, revealing a stunning narrative of heroism and resilience.”
