This is the story of Jack and Rochelle Sutin as told to their son, who, in turn, writes with great love and sensitivity about his parents' struggle to survive the Holocaust. Theirs is the account of a segment of the Holocaust I had known little about before I read this book: the Jewish Resistance. As the Nazis invaded Poland, established, and then emptied the ghettos, some Jews escaped to the forests, living in dirt caves, hiding from the Nazis, scratching out their survival from one day to the next, not knowing what had become of their families. By the end of the book, the reader is left with an incredible respect and affinity for those who cheated Hitler out of a handful of Jewish lives.
