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.

I disappear for a month or so and now Trump is the next president of the burger reich, Mr. Softie has passed away, apparently there was a dredge tank struggle session?, and probably some other exciting things. What a month.

Nostalgiawatched the intro to Civilization 1

There finally evolved a species known as Man

How quaint

The fruits of intelligence were many: fire, tools and weapons, the hunt, farming, and the sharing of Food, the family, the village, and the tribe. Now it required but one more ingredient: a great Leader.

Thanks, Sid Meier, very cool. Luckily I didn't know English back when I played this.

I've apparently made an IRL enemy-for-life because I unknowingly referred to a well-known song by Beethoven called "moonlight sonata" as "that generic piano music". I don't know the names of songs, man, I just heard it a few times as a background thing in Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Downside: it's cause my tummy was hurting and working in a hot kitchen full of food smell set my nausea way higher to the point eating a handful of walnuts made it worse so I left and then barfed up what I believe to be xenomorph blood on the walk back home

Is nostalgia a neurotypical thing?

No, duh, that'd be fuckin stupid. What I mean is that I am watching zoomers of my generation make videoslop about being nostalgic for whatever was popular or considered good in like 1997, that they engaged with as kids, and I'm just not gettin it.

I know videogames are cringe but it's a prime example: sloptube channel A Fish's Paradise just dropped an hourlong monster video about "N64 nostalgia" broadly, and it confuses me greatly. As a kid I had a hand-me-down Super Nintendo, and then an N64, and then an Xbox. I had N64 stuff like Mario Kart 64, Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie, Smash Bros, and a couple of other ones, (War Gods lol) but I barely have a fondness for any of them. In fact collectathon platformers are a scourge =)

Am I supposed to have fondness for media things I grew up with as a kid? Sincerely. The music of the 2000s was atrocious as well, for example, like it's weird watching people pine for the glory days of Hoobastank or Green Day or whatever. I actually don't get it, and I feel weird.

I work outdoors and it’s starting to get to 35 degrees (non-amerikkkan scale) now. Also the sun is a deadly laser. Also it’s the busiest time of year at my job. The irony is this is still waaaaay better than the job I did for the last 12 years (and pays like 30% more)

I love being a wage slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave.

What are some good vegan Thanksgiving dishes that reheat well? My brother's gf is wanting to make something to impress our parents. She suggested fried cauliflower but I'm thinking that's not a great idea because it'd be messy, and if they fry it ahead of time it'd get soggy, and if they fry it at my parents' there might not be room in the kitchen

All the ideas my brain is giving me are things like refried beans which would taste great but not really be a Thanksgiving thing

Also thought about doing a sweet potato casserole but i kinda want to top it with fried apples and plantains and idk how it'd turn out so idk if i should recommend trying it

"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
