Name:	Defiance: The Bielski Partisans (The Story of the largest armed rescue of Jews by Jews during WW II)
Product Code:	9780195093902
Description:	By Nechama Tec
Product Detail:	The victims of the Holocaust have usually been portrayed as helpless victims, but many Jews struggled alone or in groups against the Third Reich. One such group was created by the Bielski brothers. In Defiance, Nechama Tec recounts the details of how this Jewish partisan unit took on the duel roles of fighters and rescuers by creating a community in the forest of Western Belorussia. The group would grow to more than 1,200 Jews by 1944, including older people, women, and children. Tec offers insight into the group’s charismatic commander, Tuvia Bielski, who was largely responsible for the success of the group. She draws on never before published interviews, including Tuvia Bielski himself two weeks before his death in 1987. Nechama Tec is an accomplished historian and Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut. She was a hidden child during the Holocaust which she recounts in her memoir Dry Tears: The Story of a Lost Childhood.
