Her research confronts an old and controversial question: Why didn\u2019t the Jews fight back? Tec\u2019s previous work has included <i>Dry Tears, <\/i>her memoir of life as a child in hiding during the war; <i>In the Lion\u2019s Den, <\/i>an examination of Jewish rescuer Oswald Rufeisen; and <i>Defiance, <\/i>a study of the Bielski brothers partisan group who rescued over 1,200 Jews in German-occupied Belorussia. (The latter, of course, was made into a feature film in 2008 starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber.) Resistance was never as simple as picking up a gun; social cooperation, leadership, physical environment, and timing were factors more crucial than mere weaponry. As in her previous work, Tec\u2019s scholarship features prominently the eyewitness accounts of survivors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2013\/09\/Urwand-Collaboration.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-123\" alt=\"Cover of Ben Urwand's book &quot;The Collaboration&quot;\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2013\/09\/Urwand-Collaboration.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2013\/09\/Urwand-Collaboration.jpg 447w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2013\/09\/Urwand-Collaboration-197x300.jpg 197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>As the second book listed below demonstrates, collaboration extended beyond the shores of continental Europe. In <i>The Collaboration: Hollywood\u2019s Pact with Hitler, <\/i>Ben Urwand<i> <\/i>tells the story of the American film industry\u2019s agreement during the 1930s to avoid producing movies that attacked German leaders or Nazi policies. Aspects of this story have been known for some time. Viewers of the documentary <i>Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust <\/i>(United States, 2004; Daniel Anker, director) will recall how the film touches on the issue of German influence in Hollywood, despite the fact that many of the studio heads were Jews themselves. What this new book brings forth is the breadth and depth of this collaboration. Among the shocking stories that Dr. Urwand, a Junior Fellow of the Society of Fellows at Harvard University, has uncovered with his research are the regular meetings that Hollywood studio representatives held with the German consul in Los Angeles that cemented the bonds of cooperation. Urwand\u2019s book has received considerable press, and illuminates the need to look beyond the actors and actions that historians have traditionally held as their focus.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Photo: Faye Schulman with two other Jewish resistance fighters in southwestern Belorussia during the war.
