During the darkest hours of WW ll three brothers achieved the impossible: they transformed persecution and violence into an incredible act of affirmation and survival. Living in the Soviet Republic of Belorussia, Tuvia, Asael and Zus Bielski fled to the woods to escape the Nazi's systematic slaughter. There they built an elaborate village for rescued Jews. Their sole goal was to save their people. The Bielskis saved 1250 men, women and children, whose offspring today number close to 20,000 souls! This is the largest rescue of Jews during World War ll. The Bielskis never sought recognition for their actions but their story has now been told in the popular movie DEFIANCE.
Join us for this powerful evening and learn how through extreme bravery and sheer will, the brothers and the 1250 forest dwellers survived against all of the odds.
February 11, 2010 at 7 p.m at the Holiday Inn in Mt Pleasant at the base of the Ravenal Bridge, 250 Johnnie Dodds Blvd.
