Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation
September 2007 - November 2012
San Francisco Bay Area
The mission of JPEF is to develop and distribute effective educational materials about the 20,000-30,000 Jews who fought back against the Nazis as Jewish partisans. These Jews were responsible for blowing up thousands of armored convoys and thwarting the Nazi war machine in countless ways. This information has the power to transform people's perception of the Jewish experience during the Holocaust.
While at JPEF, I translated original Hebrew language video of former Partisan fighters, as well as a number of documents. I assisted on "A Partisan Returns: A Tale of Two Sisters", "Antisemitism in the Partisans" and JPEF's online individual Partisan interviews. I edited "Everyday the Impossible: Jewish Women in the Partisans", "Living in the Partisans", and "Introduction to the Bielski Brothers", part of "Teaching with Defiance", a curriculum of documentaries using Paramount’s 2008 film “Defiance”, with Daniel Craig, directed by Edward Zwick, on which JPEF consulted.
