"The Girl Ban­dits of the War­saw Ghet­to: The True Sto­ry of Five Coura­geous Young Women Who Sparked an Uprising"
Eliz­a­beth R. Hyman

From the Publisher 

With The Girl Ban­dits of the War­saw Ghet­to, Holo­caust his­to­ri­an, archivist, and his­to­ry blog­ger Eliz­a­beth Hyman adds a new dimen­sion to the sto­ry of the War­saw Ghet­to Upris­ing dur­ing World War II, shin­ing a long over­due spot­light on five young, Pol­ish Jew­ish women who helped lead the Jew­ish resis­tance, sab­o­tage the Nazis, and aid Jews in hid­ing across occu­pied Poland and East­ern Europe. The Upris­ing remains one of the most sto­ried events of the Holo­caust, yet pre­vi­ous accounts have almost entire­ly focused on its male par­tic­i­pants. This fas­ci­nat­ing new book intro­duces five young, coura­geous Pol­ish Jew­ish women — known as ​“the girls” by the lead­er­ship of the resis­tance and ​“ban­dits” by their Nazi oppres­sors — who were cen­tral to the Jew­ish resis­tance as fight­ers, com­man­ders, couri­ers, and smug­glers.

The Girl Ban­dits of the War­saw Ghet­to res­cues these women from the shad­ows of time, bring­ing to light their resilience, brav­ery, and cun­ning in the face of unspeak­able hard­ship — inspir­ing sto­ries of courage, dar­ing, and resis­tance that must nev­er be forgotten.
