On this day, 16 December 1871 in France, teacher and revolutionary Louise Michel was put on trial in the wake of the crushing of the Paris commune, where the workers and soldiers had taken over. She was charged with trying to overthrow the government, encouraging citizens to arm themselves, possession and use of weapons amongst other offences. Exiled to prison in New Caledonia, Michel spent four months in a cage on a prison ship. She became a national hero, and was granted amnesty in 1880. When a man tried to assassinate her, Michel defended him in court, claiming “he was misled by an evil society”.

On this day, 28 November 1919, Faye Schulman, photographer and Jewish resistance partisan, was born in Lenin, Poland (now Belarus). In 1942, the Nazis murdered 1,850 Jews in the Lenin ghetto, leaving only Faye and 25 others alive, making Schulman take and develop photos of the massacre. Covertly she made copies of the photographs for herself. She soon fled and joined the partisan resistance, serving as a fighter and nurse. While on a raid in Lenin with her unit, Schulman managed to retrieve her camera equipment, and then began documenting the resistance movement, developing her photos under blankets. “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.” Schulman survived the war and moved to Canada, eventually passing away on April 24, 2021, aged 101. * Facebook/Instagram have recently deleted a number of our posts and implemented restrictions on our account for posting about the history of opposition to Nazism and fascism.
