I have read numerous books about the Holocaust, but this is the best book ever about a group of Jewish survivors. Led by three brothers (most notably Tuvia Bielski), 1200 Jews survived in the forests of Belorussia. Tuvia's leadership enabled them to defend themselves and survive in an inhospitable environment. He welcomed all Jews to their group, regardless of their age or ability to help out. His mission was to save as many Jews as possible and he did. By the end of the war, they were so organized that they had a tannery, a tailoring shop, a shoemaker, a hospital, classrooms, a barber, and everything one would want to include in a thriving village. It proves that Jews were perfectly capable of standing up for themselves and choosing to live or die like human beings rather than to submit to the Nazi reign of terror. A true story of triumph and resilence.
