Kristallnacht Obeservance

The feature film Defiance vividly portrayed the actions and heroism of the Bielski Partisans, a group formed by four brothers, to resist the Nazi occupiers of the area of Poland now called Belarus. Following the Germans’ Operation Barbarossa, the Bielski brothers, Tuvia, Alexander, also known as ‘Zus’, Asael and Aron managed to flee to the nearby forest after their parents and other family members were killed in the ghetto in December 1941. After the war, Tuvia and “Zus” eventually settled in the US, where they operated a successful trucking business. None of the Bielski brothers sought any recognition or reward for their actions. Louis Bell and his nephew Robert Bielski (Tuvia’s son) will be at Temple Or Elohim, Jericho, for the annual observance of Kristallnacht.
