Faye Schulman, born on this day in 1919, was a Jewish partisan and photographer who took up arms against the Nazis who were responsible for killing her family.

On August 14th, 1942, the Germans killed 1,850 Jews from the "Lenin" ghetto (named after Lenin, Poland, where Faye was from), including her parents, sisters, and younger brother. Faye was spared for her ability to develop photographs, and the Nazis ordered Faye to develop their photographs of the massacre. Later, she cited taking a photo of her dead family in a mass grave as the impetus to take up arms.

During a partisan raid on the camp, Faye fled to the forests and joined the Molotava Brigade, a partisan group mostly comprised of escaped Soviet Red Army POWs. She was accepted because her brother-in-law had been a doctor and they were desperate for anyone who knew anything about medicine. Faye served the group as a nurse from September 1942 to July 1944, even though she had no previous medical experience.

During another raid on the Lenin ghetto, Faye succeeded in recovering her old photographic equipment. During the next two years, she took over a hundred photographs, developing the medium format negatives under blankets and making "sun prints" during the day. While on missions, Faye buried the camera and tripod to keep it safe. Schulman is the only known Jewish partisan photographer from this era.

"I want people to know that there was resistance. Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter. I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof."

  • Faye Schulman

After liberation, Faye married Morris Schulman, also a Jewish partisan. Faye and Morris enjoyed a prosperous life as decorated Soviet partisans, but wanted to leave Pinsk, Poland, which reminded them of "a graveyard." Morris and Faye lived in the Landsberg displaced persons camp in Germany for the next three years and immigrated to Canada in 1948.

Playing Cities: Skylines, I have come to the conclusion that all the ink spilled about Chinese "ghost cities" where they built highways and railways to "nowhere" is simply the alternative to bulldozing established (Black) communities and turning them into freeways and parking lots. It is a lot better to plan the network first and zone around it than it is to just plow a railroad through hundreds of apartments.

Not groundbreaking or anything but it really strikes me how heavy handed the propaganda is sometimes. Take nuclear missiles, America literally uses the "our heroic adventurers vs their barbarous invaders" format. American icbms are "Peacekeepers" while similar Russian missiles are referred to as SATAN missiles (a label the West uses, their actual name is Sarmat).

it's funny being a US citizen who's also mildly impressed by Deng Xiaoping

cus like

it's really impressive how he played the structural intensives of the market to China's advantage in a way that the US really has no way of coping with, let alone combating

but also, as someone who lives here and thinks about socialism a lot, what am I supposed to do with this insight? Like, we as the United States should build our productive capacity by going to the Untied States and... asking... them... to... invest... in our... manufacturing capacity... oh dear

Been reading through The Trial, and I feel scammed by all the "kafkaesque" circlejerk cause this is not a depressing book at all so far.

The protagonist is such a weird little neurotic smug asshole that so far I literally get the impression he could just get his case sorted with the court if he didn't spend a whole chapter stalking his neighbour after sexually harassing her.

Guy just keeps self sabotaging for no reason, he gets to his interrogation an hour late even though he realises that he was not told the time and that he could probably call them back to ask for it. He never feels like it would be wrong to call the courts to ask for his appointment, but he thinks it will embarrass him in front of one of his bosses, so he just decides it's not important.

Really just a weird fucking guy, you get the impression he's actually definitely the kind of guy who might have been reported for something real.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

Like he tells the court that he discards his right to further interrogations, then realises it could be a bad idea and just tries to Larry David his way back by showing up next week like nothing happened.

What a goofy moron, I love this shit.

it feels like i can't even express the slightest hint of alienation without people in my life being dismissive or shitting on it. like they mention that people that don't celebrate holidays must be annoyed by all the traffic, and i DARED to express a sympathy because holidays don't mean much to me outside of obligations to humor family members and i find crowded stores and roads during holidays unpleasant due to sensory overload, and its taken as if i insulted anyone who enjoyed any holiday. any time i express neurodivergence of any kind it is fucking PUNISHED, i guess adult men are not allowed to experience any mental illness or negative feelings whatsoever without being blamed for personal failure to fully repress all of our emotions except bland mundane contentedness

"Love labor, hate mastery over others, and avoid a close relationship with the government" (Avot, 1:10)


"Anti-Semitism means spreading enmity towards the Jews. When the accursed tsarist monarchy was living its last days it tried to incite ignorant workers and peasants against the Jews. The tsarist police, in alliance with the landowners and the capitalists, organised pogroms against the Jews. The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews. In other countries, too, we often see the capitalists fomenting hatred against the Jews in order to blind the workers, to divert their attention from the real enemy of the working people, capital. Hatred towards the Jews persists only in those countries where slavery to the landowners and capitalists has created abysmal ignorance among the workers and peasants. Only the most ignorant and downtrodden people can believe the lies and slander that are spread about the Jews. This is a survival of ancient feudal times, when the priests burned heretics at the stake, when the peasants lived in slavery, and when the people were crushed and inarticulate. This ancient, feudal ignorance is passing away; the eyes of the people are being opened.

It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. Among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations. The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital. Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob and disunite the workers.

Shame on accursed tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews. Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations.

Long live the fraternal trust and fighting alliance of the workers of all nations in the struggle to overthrow capital." - V. I. Lenin, Anti-Jewish Pogroms
