[Bee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book contains two separate accounts from different Jewish partisans that survived in the Bielski group. They had some experiences together but their stories are very different. It also contains many important documents pertaining to the partisans' operations and their destroyed home town. It is a succinct account but full of pertinent information

[Prooost Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the kind of book I've been trying to find since I started reading books on the Holocaust. It contains a narrative of partisan resistance that might have never been told had these two cousins not written it. In addition, there is a description of just one of the many vibrant Jewish communities that were lost because of the Nazis.
