Fighting Back
A Memoir of Jewish Resistance in World War IIBy Harold Werner
Edited by Mark Werner
(300 Pages)Publisher: Columbia, 1992
More than a tale of survival, this is the extraordinary memoir of a survivor who outlasted Hitler's Holocaust not in a concentration camp, but in the woods of eastern Poland as a leader of successful Jewish resistance during the second World War. Written to dispel the myth of Jewish passivity, Harold Werner recounts his experiences as a member of a large Jewish partisan unit, which aggressively conducted military missions against the German army in occupied Poland. Not only is Fighting Back a way of understanding Jewish struggles against terrifying odds, it provides rare vignettes of life in the shtetl, or small town, before the Holocaust completely wiped them out. In describing his childhood years, Werner provides a flavor of that extinct society as rich in tradition, religion, and learning as it was poor in material possessions. 15 photos, 8 maps.
