Why Were the NAZIS So AFRAID of Jewish Partisans in Eastern Europe?
The Nazis had a name for them. Not soldiers. Not fighters. Banditen — bandits. Heinrich Himmler personally ordered that the word "partisan" never be used. Because "partisan" implied legitimacy. And the last thing the German military wanted to admit was that twenty thousand Jewish men and women in the forests of Eastern Europe were making them genuinely afraid. This is the story of Tuvia Bielski — the man the Germans offered 100,000 Reichsmarks to find — and Abba Kovner, whose fighters derailed hundreds of Nazi trains and killed thousands of German soldiers from the forests of Lithuania. It is the story of what people do when a system strips them of everything and they choose to fight anyway. Covering the Bielski partisans in the Naliboki Forest, the United Partisan Organization in Vilna, Operation Hermann (1943), and the documented military impact of Jewish partisan resistance across Belarus and Lithuania.
