Скачать или смотреть The Genius Who Forged Passports With Potato Stamps to Save Jewish Lives

Discover one of World War II's most ingenious resistance tactics: how Jewish partisan couriers forged life-saving passports using nothing but potato stamps and incredible courage.
​

During the Holocaust, young Jewish women known as kashariyot (couriers) risked everything to save lives. These fearless resistance fighters traveled between isolated ghettos using forged documents, smuggling weapons, money, medical supplies, and most importantly—hope. But how did they create convincing fake passports under Nazi occupation?
​

The answer lies in a surprisingly simple yet brilliant technique: potato stamp forgery. Forgers would carve official stamps and seals into potatoes (and sometimes eggs or apples), creating makeshift tools to produce authentic-looking documents. This low-tech method was accessible, disposable, and nearly impossible to trace—perfect for underground resistance work.
​

Why were couriers predominantly women?
Jewish men faced immediate suspicion on the streets and could be identified by circumcision. Women, however, could blend in more easily, spoke local languages fluently, and had more freedom of movement in public spaces. Disguised with braided hair, peasant kerchiefs, and false names, these teenage girls became the lifeline between Jewish communities throughout war-torn Eastern Europe.

Figures like Adolfo Kaminsky, an 18-year-old Jewish forger, created fake identity papers that saved an estimated 14,000 Jewish lives. The French resistance networks he worked with raced against time to help people disappear before arrest.

This is the hidden story of ordinary people who used extraordinary creativity to resist tyranny and save lives during humanity's darkest hour.
