The Bielski Brothers the True Story of Three Men Who Defied the Nazis, Saved 1,200 Jews and Built a Village in the Forest

New York: Harper Collins Publishers, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0066210747. DJ shows very light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; B&W Photographs; 9.22 X 6.36 X 1.10 inches; 302 pages; "In 1941, three young men -- brothers, sons of a miller -- witnessed their parents and two other siblings being led away to their eventual murders. It was a grim scene that would, of course, be repeated endlessly throughout the war. What makes this particular story of interest is how the survivors responded. Instead of running or capitulating or giving in to despair, these brothers -- Tuvia, Zus, and Asael Bielski -- did something else entirely. They fought back, waging a guerrilla war of wits and cunning against both the Nazis and the pro-Nazi sympathizers. Along the way they saved well over a thousand Jewish lives. In July 1944, after two and a half years in the woods, the Bielskis learned that the Germans, overrun by the Red Army, were retreating back toward Berlin. More than one thousand Bielski Jews emerged -- alive -- on that final, triumphant exit from the woods.. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket .

The Boys Triumph over Adversity: The Story of 732 Young Concentration Camp Survivors

Vancouver BC: Douglas & McIntyre, 1996. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 155054540X. A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar. B&W photographs ; 9.2 X 6.4 X 2.0 inches; 527 pages; "In August 1945, the first of 732 child survivors of the Holocaust reached Britain. First settled in the Lake District, they formed a tightly knit group of friends whose terrible shared experience is almost beyond imagining. This is their story, which begins in the lost communities of pre-World War II central Europe, moves through ghetto, concentration camp and death march, to liberation, survival, and finally, fifty years later, a deeply moving reunion. Martin Gilbert has brought together the recollections of this remarkable group of survivors. With magisterial narration, he tells their astonishing stories. The Boys bears witness to the human spirit, enduring the depths, and bearing hopefully the burden and challenge of survival.". Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
