Kurzbiographie
Nechama or Nehama Tec, née Bawnik, was born to Jewish family in Lublin, Poland. She was eight years old when Nazi Germany invaded her country in World War II, and survived with her sister and parents by being hidden by Polish Catholics under false identities. In 1950, she married Leon Tec, a child psychiatrist, with whom she had two children, and emigrated to Israel and then the USA. She earned her bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in sociology from Columbia University, and became a professor at the University of Connecticut, Storrs. She published her Holocaust memoir Dry Tears: The Story of a Lost Childhood, in 1982.
Other works include When Light Pierced the Darkness: Christian Rescue of Jews in Nazi-Occupied Poland (1986); In the Lion’s Den: The Life of Oswald Rufeisen (1990); Defiance: The Bielski Partisans (1993), which won the 1994 International Anne Frank Special Recognition prize; Resilience and Courage: Women, and Men, and the Holocaust (2003); and more than 70 scholarly articles. Prof. Tec was appointed to the Council of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and in 1995 was a Scholar-in-Residence at the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem, Israel.

Rezensionen

Impressive work by Nechama Tec-I learned a lot. The extensive research the author did on Jewish resistance during World War 2 and the insights she gained from interviewing surviving members of the Bielski otriad made for a fascinating read. I was impressed by the fact that she gave her interview subjects a choice of four different languages to speak during their interviews—I'm assuming this means she speaks all four herself—Hebrew, Yiddish, Polish and English.
The focus of the book is on the leadership of Tuvia Bielski, what he and his brothers Zus and Asael did to rescue Jews and how his partisan group grew to be over 1200 by the end of the war. It wasn't just a matter of hiding from the Nazis. The group was on the move a lot, had to deal with conflict from within and eventually had to answer to leaders of Russian partisan groups.

Interesting read—highly recommended.

Nessuno a Brooklyn si sarebbe mai immaginato che i tranquilli signori Bielski fossero degli eroi. Ora questo libro squarcia il velo sulla loro eccezionale impresa. Determinazione, intelligenza e disciplina sono le armi che hanno fatto di Tuvia Bielski e dei suoi fratelli le anime di un'imponente operazione di salvataggio di ebrei, realizzata dagli ebrei stessi, durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Rifugiatisi nelle foreste della Bielorussia, organizzarono un'unità partigiana con un obiettivo: salvare più persone possibile. Così l'unità Bielski accolse non solo giovani combattenti o abili sabotatori, ma anche donne, vecchi e bambini, diventando l'ultima speranza di gente disperata.… (mehr)

Utterly inspiring account of three heroic Jewish brothers in WW2 Belarus; hiding from the Nazis in the vast, inhospitable forests, their initial small band of acquaintances rapidly becomes a small town, as more Jews flee the ghettos. Led by the charismatic Tuvia Bielski, his group stands out as one that turned no one away; while other detachments refused the frail, useless and unarmed...and were often guilty of anti-semitism...the Bielskis actively sought out all who wanted to come, their focus on saving lives than attacking the enemy (although there was, pleasingly, some of that too.)
"Bielski was for us what Israel is for the Jews now...an insurance."Through interviews with all the major players in the 1980s, Tec writes a seemingly balanced account; the Bielskis had their detractors, moments when maybe things could have been done better. There were confrontations with bands of Nazis, cold and privation, dissent in the ranks, and a need to rub along with the groups of Russian patriots in the area...

Sometimes (not often!) you finish a book so inspired by the character that you think "if I had a son right now, I'd name him after this person."
