“All I owned was my camera, leopard coat, rifle and a grenade in case I’m captured...the pillow was the rifle, the walls were the trees and the sky was the roof,” says Faye Schulman, one of over 25,000 Jewish partisans, who fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of WWII’s Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Belarus. Against extraordinary odds, they escaped Nazi slaughter, transforming from young innocents raised in closely knit families to courageous resistance fighters. Shattering the myth of Jewish passivity, the last surviving partisans tell their stories of resistance in Four Winters, revealing a stunning narrative of heroism and resilience.  Documentary, 90 min., NR.

The screening, presented by the North Louisiana Jewish Federation, will take place in Theater 1, RFC’s 124-seat capacity theater. Veterans can receive free tickets by calling the box office at (318) 459-4122.
