Summary
The prevailing image of European Jews during the Holocaust is one of helpless victims, but many Jews struggled against the terrors of the Third Reich. This is the history of one such group, a forest community numbering more than 1,200… Jews, that carried out the largest armed rescue operation of Jews by Jews in World War II. These men and women of all ages - hungry, largely unarmed, and exposed to harsh winter weather - smuggled Jews out of heavily guarded ghettos, led retaliatory raids against Nazi collaborators, and offered protection to all Jewish fugitives who could find their way to them. Some descriptions of violence. 2008.
