Witnesses to the murder of their families and the destruction of their communities, a cadre of Jewish women in Poland became the nerves of a wide-ranging resistance network that fought the Nazis.

Brave Jewish women in Poland became resistance fighters, training youth groups to fight the Nazis. "Ghetto girls" paid off -- or seduced and killed -- Gestapo guards, smuggled weapons, bombed German train lines, nursed the sick and taught children in order to help their people.
