Few Holocaust survivors can tell their stories with photographs, especially ones they took themselves. Rarer still are photographs taken by the partisan fighters of their experiences.
Perhaps the only Jewish photographer known to capture Jewish partisan resistance on film is a former partisan, Faigel “Faye” Lazebnik Schulman, who served in a Russian partisan brigade for two and a half years in the forests along the Polish-Russian border.
Her photography is the subject of Pictures of Resistance, opening at the Tolerance Education Center on September 3rd until
January 3rd, 2025.
THE WARTIME PHOTOGRAPHS OF JEWISH PARTISAN FAYE SCHULMAN WAS CURATED BY JILL VEXLER PH.D. AND WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THOMAS AND JOHANNA BARUCH, THE EPSTEIN/ROTH FOUNDATION, THE NASH FAMILY FOUNDATION, THE PURJES FOUNDATION, THE CHARLES AND LYNN SCHUSTERMAN FAMILY FOUNDATION, THE TAUBE FOUNDATION FOR JEWISH LIFE & CULTURE, UJA METROWEST, AND DIANE AND HOWARD WOHLFROM AND IS A PRODUCTION OF THE JEWISH PARTISAN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION.
Barbara Mack is known for her evocative portraits depicting her subjects in an extraordinary light. A trained psychologist, she is particularly fascinated by workaday heroes, finding the humanity and depth in each person she photographs. Through the single lens of her Hasselblad camera, she offers a contemplative view into the soul of her subjects. In an increasingly digital age, she chooses to use black and white film and classic gelatin silver print technique to create a feeling of stopped time, serenity and beauty.
Dr. Mack has contributed her talents to a variety of non-profit and civic organizations including the Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles Holocaust Survivors Program and Israel Levin Center, the Los Angeles Fire Department, Jewish World Watch, the Schulweis Institute, Hope Net and American Jewish University, where she photographed world leaders and other luminaries. Her photographs are in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust and the Los Angeles Firefighters Museum. She has served on the Board of the Photographic Arts Council of the Los Angles County Museum of Art. Her books include Portraits in Black and White: Holocaust Survivors of Café Europa, volumes I and II.
