"Innovative and revelatory. A superb example of first-rate scholarship that expertly blends theory with historical evidence to expose the wider context of Jewish agency, both male and female, by those who enabled and conducted this iconic act of Jewish resistance under the most extreme circumstances." - Edward B. Westermann, Texas A&M University-San Antonio
