“The word kashariyot comes from the Hebrew kesher, meaning connection, acknowledging that these women provided hope and a link to the outside world, as well as the information they brought with them”(Unknown 10).

Jews dressing as non-jews and leaving the ghettos was strictly forbidden by the Nuremberg laws and was punishable by execution.

After finding out about the Nazi’s final plan, they went to acquire weapons and would help jews escape to a place where they could hide.

They had to rely on the fact that they looked Aryan to stay under the radar.

“While the people who fought the Germans within the ghettos are often most celebrated for their bravery and heroism, the kashariyot were essential in the survival of Jews within ghettos”(Weitzman 1).
