Defiance is great. It is in fact a true story about the Bielski brothers who ultimately moved to the US. The leader, Tovia Bielski lead a very humble and quiet existence in NY after the war, despite the fact that he saved hundreds of people.
I must admit that many survivors don't wish to revisit the inhumanity of those events, such as my father who until recently rarely spoke about his experiences despite many years of quietly staying up during the night unable to sleep haunted by what happened. It was an inhuman and ruthless time ; the depth of which I doubt we can possibly appreciate. The time is full of unrecognized heroes and nameless victims. I'm glad that this story has emerged and once again shed light upon a time we need to remember if we are not to repeat it.
