Program Description

Description

Presented by Carroll County Public Library and Park Books on Main. 

In The Girl Bandits of the Warsaw Ghetto, Elizabeth R. 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—champions who helped lead the resistance, sabotage the Nazis, and aid Jews in hiding across occupied Poland and Eastern Europe. Hyman is a Holocaust historian, archivist, and history blogger with dual Master’s Degrees in History and Library and Information Science from the University of Maryland-College Park. She established her history blog, “HISTORICITY (was already taken),” in 2011. She is the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of Polish Jews who fled their homeland in 1939 and ultimately made their way, as refugees, to the United States. 

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
