Resistance: They Fought Back

Where? 16, Avenue de la Faiencerie, L-1510 Luxembourg Theatre, Film & Shows

Film & discussion

One of the prevailing narratives about the Holocaust is that Jews went to their deaths like sheep to the slaughter. Running contrary to this portrayal is the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising—the largest and most well-known act of Jewish resistance during World War II. The film Resistance: They Fought Back forcefully counters this narrative, going beyond a single example to highlight numerous acts of Jewish resistance, both violent and non-violent.

The film is being screened by Jewish Call for Peace. By showcasing the strength, resourcefulness, and resilience of the Eastern European Jewish community, this screening is part of our effort to reclaim our Eastern European Jewish history and identity. It also stands in opposition to the dominant Israeli mythology that depicts pre-WWII European Jews as weak and in need of transformation into the armed, heroic Israeli figure.

The acts of bravery portrayed in the film serve as a powerful reminder of Jewish traditions of solidarity, comradeship, and resistance against oppression.

"To be a Jew means always being with the oppressed, never with the oppressors." — Marek Edelman, a leader of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.


Traditional European Jewish finger food will be served after the screening.
