2025Women in the Anti-Fascist Resistance Movement - Set

The so-called “great history” is written on the pages of history books: the turning points and important names of major commanders or political leaders. The rise of fascist ideologies and the events of the Second World War, along with the Slovak National Uprising affected the lives of countless ordinary people. It was not just about men marching with guns in their hands, waiting for an uncertain tomorrow; many women also joined the anti-fascist resistance movement—mainly in supporting roles. However, in rare cases, they could be found on the battlefield. Without their contribution the resistance movement would have barely functioned, but it is very rare to come across a report of their fate in literature. Nevertheless, any story of those who contributed to the defeat of fascism, even a forgotten one, is incredibly valuable. This postage stamp helps us commemorate three women who joined the anti-fascist resistance movement.
