Beyond Courage: The Untold Story of Jewish Resistance During The Holocaust

Doreen Rappaport

Beyond Courage: The Untold Story of Jewish Resistance During The Holocaust Under the noses of the military, thousands of children are smuggled out of occupied France into Switzerland. In Belgium, three resisters ambush a train, allowing scores of Jews to flee from the cattle cars. In Poland, four brothers lead more than 1,200 ghetto refugees into the forest to build a guerilla force and self-sufficient village. And a twelve-year-old entertains German officers with his violin moments before setting off a bomb.Through twenty-one meticulously researched accounts, the author illuminates the defiance of tens of thousands of Jews with the weapons of courage, ingenuity, the will to survive, and the resolve to save others or to die trying.
