Lucy Schwob and Suzanne Malherbe were Parisienne avant-garde artists, lovers, and Nazi resisters who used their literary skills to demoralize German soldiers during WWII. Their remarkable, but overlooked, story has told by History Professor Jeffrey H. Jackson of Rhodes College in his book, Paper Bullets: Two Artists Who Risked Their Lives to Defy the Nazis.
Dr. Jackson will discuss the couple’s effort to wage psychological warfare against Nazi soldiers, as well as their life as trailblazing lesbian partners, in a special lecture at Beth Sholom Synagogue’s Lehrhaus Speaker Series on Wednesday, February 19 at 7pm. The lecture is hosted by Beth Sholom’s Lifelong Jewish Learning Committee.
The event is free and open to the public.
