Uncredited Photographer Jewish Partisans Near Pinsk, Belorussia, USSR c.1944
The girl in the leopard print
That’s Faye Schulman! She’s known for her work photographing the Jewish resistance movement in eastern Europe – and, of course, her fabulous coat. As of July ‘17, she’s still alive! Check these out:
“Jewish people didn’t go like sheep to the slaughter … I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof.”
She’s also written a memoir. I think theres a book collecting photos of hers as well? But I think it’s harder to get hold of.
She frequently had to hide that she was Jewish from other partisans she worked with out of fear of what they might do (there’s a story about her only eating potatoes during Passover and just never explaining why).
She could only take a small number of the negatives she had to the displaced person camp she was in after the end of the war and had to abandon the rest.
