"Partisans: A Graphic History of Anti-Fascist Resistance – review

A graphic history of the Partisan resistance in World War II provides a vivid, harrowing and valuable reminder of their crucial struggles, finds Eilidh Stewart

In every territory occupied by the Nazis in World War II, there were underground resistance groups heroically fighting, scheming and sabotaging, yet these stories remain relatively overlooked.

Partisans is a compilation of graphic narratives telling these often-forgotten stories of the underground resistance movement which was instrumental in defeating the Nazis. The book comprises ten visually stunning stories of resistance from Yugoslavia to Greece to Italy each in different artistic styles and from different perspectives. Some are personal accounts, for example the story titled ‘Piccola Staffeta’, written by Franca Bannerman, who delves into her own experiences as a child who rejects the brainwashing by the mandatory fascist education under Mussolini’s rule. Others are historical narrations such as the story of Tito’s partisans which briefly takes you through the period of Yugoslavia’s creation and subsequent destruction.

It particularly draws attention to the central role of women in the underground resistance movement. It emphasises the huge number of women involved in the movement with one third of volunteers in the Greek, Italian and Yugoslav Maquis (resistance groups) being women and it shares great stories such as that of Truus and Freddie Oversteegen, two young socialists who risked their lives gathering intelligence on the Nazis and scouting out traitors. It also discusses how the Partisans improved women’s rights, for example, in a Greek area dominated by resistance forces, women were granted equal political and civil rights as well as equal pay for equal work."
