This book tells of the Jewish persecution and brutality, of course, the Holocaust played out on the world stage - every knows the story of the ones who died. Not everyone knows the story of the ones who remained free and fought back with a grief and a passion and a revenge so deep few could fathom. The JewishFreedom fighters of the European theater - in this book - the Ukraine, were formidable fighters and took down many of their German enemies.
The freedom you enjoy today, was won on the backs of these brave souls as well as the uniformed Allied forces who fought for the common goal.
Stunning, educational, frustrating at times because of man's inhumanity to man, but well worth the read!
"I can't kill Nazis if I'm dead. . ." Solomon Shalensky
After researching the transcripts of the Nuremburg Trials and interviewing 'The Remnant' or the Jewishsurvivors of the holocaust, many still living in Israel; Othniel Seiden was compelled to write their startling and remarkable stories of World War II. In this stunning and compelling historical novel about the Jews who were able to remain free and fight, Seiden documents their survival, their suffering, their missions and their guerrilla warfare tactics against the Nazi occupation forces.
Also, well documented, the tragedy of Kiev and now infamous ravine of Babi Yar where it is thought that nearly a million people, Jews and non-Jews alike were massacred. These brave few escaped the certain death of their co-religionists by acts of bravery and sheer determination to live. The myth that the Jewish people 'went to their deaths like sheep to slaughter. . .' is put to rest forever in the stories of "The Remnant."
