Скачать или смотреть Jewish Brigade – Rescuing Holocaust Survivors in Secret Missions

Yael Driver is the editor of the new book Dance of the Fire: The Jewish Brigade in WW2: Facts, Myths, Appraisal, based on the memoir of her father Shlomo Shamir, covert commander of the Brigade. She sheds some light on little-known daring missions to rescue Holocaust Survivors following the Brigade’s fighting against the Axis Forces.

She explains how these Jewish volunteers from the Land of Israel fought in the Italian campaign and stayed in war-torn Europe after the war ended to track down Holocaust survivors. Through the process of her supporting research she met not only families of her father’s comrade and the family of one of her father’s British commanders, but also the family of one Italian P.O.W. who her father must have assisted. She further discusses the saga of Enzo Sereni and other daring acts during World War II.
