Defiance

Now, here is Daniel Craig in a role you can believe. Tuvia, Craig, is the oldest of four Jewish brothers in Eastern Europe during World War II (Liev Schreiber does a wonderful job as Tuvia's next brother, Zus). When the brothers are forced to take refuge from the wholesale slaughter of Jews their knowledge of the local woods proves very useful. As others join them and the community grows the brothers make hard choices about survival, loyalty, faith, and responsibility. Defiance is the true story of bravery, faith, and love...a very moving story of survival in the worst of times.

Check it out...The Nesmith Library has this story both in print and audio book - Defiance : the Bielski partisans By Nechama Tec. 940.5318 TEC or AB/CD 940.5318.
