Bringing History to Life – Fania Brantsovskaya

What problem/challenge does the lesson try to solve?

The lesson addresses the challenge of understanding the complexities of resistance and survival during the Holocaust through a personal story. It aims to move beyond a simplified view of resistance by exploring the difficult choices Fania Brantsovskaya faced, including escaping the ghetto, joining the partisans, and deciding whether to remain in Lithuania after the war. It also helps learners distinguish between historical facts, assumptions, and personal interpretations when examining these experiences.
