Daring to Resist: Three Women Face the Holocaust
A film by
Martha Lubell and
Barbara Attie
Grades 6 and up
The fascinating story of three teenage girls who determinedly joined the resistance movement against Hitler’s reign of terror, Daring to Resist brings forward a shrouded chapter of World War II history and celebrates the heroism of a unique group of young women. Focusing on their intelligence and resourcefulness, this inspiring documentary broadens our understanding of the concept of resistance and reminds viewers of the enormous potential young women have to effect change. Essential viewing for courses in civics, history and social sciences, this powerful documentary gives voice to the fascinating, yet overlooked, women that took part in the campaign against the Third Reich.

"Flowing gracefully between the past and present, the film seamlessly integrates archival footage and photographs. I have no idea what and how young people are being taught the Holocaust but if classes do not include Daring to Resist, they’re not doing it right.”

"What really impressed me, in addition to the women's narratives and warm, lively manner, was the professionalism of the editing. This is such important work."

"Women's roles during the Third Reich have received little attention in monographs and films; even less work has been done on the contributions women made to resistance under Nazism. [This] film will begin to fill in information on this much neglected subject."

"A powerful example for young people, especially young women, of how to take a stand and make a difference in their lives and those of others."

"What really impressed me, in addition to the women's narratives and warm, lively manner, was the professionalism of the editing. This is such important work."

"Given the lack of focus in existing materials on what women were doing to resist, not just what women suffered under Nazi power, this video should receive wide reception and use in schools and synagogues and churches."
