In Poland, Lithuania, and elsewhere in Nazi-occupied Europe, Jews imprisoned in ghettos fought back valiantly yet with little support from non-Jews.

Minsk Ghetto: 1941-43

My grandmother came from Minsk at the turn of the 20th century. I found it utterly fascinating to hear about this ghetto and the history of the rise of the partisans. I am going to buy this book. Thanks for having Ms. Epstein on the air. I look forward to hearing a rebroadcast of this at some point.
