| Description |
Describes the Soviet partisan movement in Ukraine and estimates Jewish participation in it. The first Jewish resistance groups in the Ukraine were not formed in the prewar Soviet regions (where a bulk of eligible, able-bodied Jews were either conscripted in the summer of 1941 or evacuated, while others were shot by the Nazis during the first weeks of the German occupation), but in the western, formerly Polish regions and in Transnistria. Later, these groups were included in mixed partisan divisions. A large number of the Jewish partisan fighters were former POWs who had escaped from POW camps. Jews held various positions in the partisan units in Ukraine, from rank-and-file to commanders. Discusses divergent statistics on the partisan movement in Ukraine, including estimates of the number of Jewish partisans.
