Defiance


We went to see Defiance last night. David was a History major in college and was especially interested in WWII. His father came from Minsk (now Belorussia) as a child but there were a brother and two sisters left in Russia when the left in the 20's. This story is about a motley group of Jewish refugees who hid and fought in the forest for over 3 years. The story of how they lived and died brought tears to our eyes. By the end of the war over 1200 people came out of the woods. I would recommend this movie to everyone. How can we change and become more tolerant if we don't know what has happened in the past?
