Summary:
Through twenty-one meticulously researched accounts-- some chronicled in book form for the first time-- Doreen Rappaport illuminates the defiance of tens of thousands of Jews across eleven Nazi-occupied countries
during
World War II. Under the noses of the German military and French police, Georges Loinger smuggles
Jewish
children out of occupied France into Switzerland. In Belgium, two resisters ambush a train, allowing scores of Jews to flee from the cattle cars. In Poland, four brothers lead more than 1,200 ghetto refugees into the Byelorussian forest to build a guerrilla force and self-sufficient village. And twelve-year-old Motele Shlayan entertains German officers with his violin moments before setting off a bomb. Through twenty-one meticulously researched accounts Doreen Rappaport illuminates the defiance of tens of thousands of Jews across eleven Nazi-occupied countries
during
World War II. In answer to the genocidal madness that was Hitler's
Holocaust
, the only response they could abide was
resistance
, and their greatest weapons were
courage
, ingenuity, the will to survive, and the resolve to save others or to die trying.
