Hardback. Condición: Good. In 1941, after witnessing the execution of their parents and two siblings in Nazi-occupied Belarus, Tuvia, Asael and Zus Bielski fled into the forest. The brothers sent word that any Jews who made it to the woods would find a safe haven there, and ultimately assembled a community of more than 1200 people that featured its own temple, general store, and even a theater. For two and a half years at the height of World War II, they successfully evaded the Germans. Dramatic, heart-felt and beautifully told, The Bielski Brothers is a fascinating look at a long forgotten chapter in the history of World War II partisans, and a magnificent testament to the strength and the courage of three individuals in the face of the Holocaust's terrible and utter annihilation.Peter Duffy, a freelance journalist, has worked for the New York Times, the New York Post, Newsday and many other publications, and has won ten national and regional writing awards. He lives in New York City with his wife and daughter."The Bielski Brothers reads like an action novel . fast-paced and deeply moving .
