Resistance under Occupations
The Polish Underground and the Struggle Against Nazi Rule

History of the Polish resistance movement during World War II. Dr. Joshua Zimmerman explored the structure and goals of the Polish Underground, examining how resistance efforts operated under Nazi occupation and navigated complex relationships with German authorities and Allied powers. We also considered the internal tensions and debates that shaped the movement, alongside the broader historical context of occupied Poland. Together, these perspectives offered a deeper understanding of the Polish resistance and the critical role it played during the war.
