Editorial Reviews:
|
Living in the Soviet Republic of Belorussia during World War II, Tuvia, Asael and Zus Bielski saved more than twelve-hundred of their fellow Jews from perishing in the Holocaust, yet their story has largely gone untold. The Bielski's built an elaborate village in the woods, from which they rescued Jews and mounted guerilla attacks against the Nazis. Their forest haven included a gun workshop, a bakery, a synagogue, a communal bath and even a theater company. Containing interviews with Bielski Brigade survivors in the United States, Israel and Great Britain, we proudly pay tribute to three of the greatest unsung heroes of the Holocaust.

Summary: The Bielski Brothers
Comment: An exceptionally well written documentary of the activities of Jewish partisans who survived the German invasion of their nation. Having been in Europe for the past several years, I have not seen to film version, but have read with great interest, the account of the Bielski Brothers during World War II. As I live in Kosovo, (no longer in Kuwait) a small unnatural country in the Former Yugoslavia, I have first hand knowledge of the type of terrain and the forrestation that was so well used by the Jewish partisans in helping to defeat the Nazis.
This book is a must read for those who in anyway believe that we might be faced with a similar end of the world type occurance and what we might face from either a foreign invader, or an interal one.

Summary: If you saw "Defiance" you have to see this
Comment: Inspiring testimonies to the work of the Bielski Brothers' rescue of the Jews. Defiance is the film that tells the story. Bielski fills in the gaps and history.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Introduction to the Movie Defiance
Comment: I was impressed by the extras in the DVD Defiance that had its own documentary featuring pictures and discussions with the Bielkski children. This DVD features not only the Bielski family, but also actual footage of the survivors still living today.
Fascinating footage of actual partisans at work, actual on location shots of the village in the woods. This is simply a great history and a must for video of fighting oppression and tyranny.

Summary: An Inspiring Film.
Comment: These people were brave and wonderful and I found this to be a docu-drama worth buying.

Summary: everyone should see this
Comment: I found the story of people helping each other to be essential to the human spirit. So many in the world who have thought that Jews were led to slaughter like sheep have been wrong. This is the powerful and true story of a Jewish resistance movement during World War II in the Bellarus area of Europe. I was amazed at the strict dicipline that was used; but it was effective. An excelent production that was also well acted.
