The bielski brothers by peter duffy harpercollins

About the Book

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.
