Debbie Schlussel: "Defiance"--Movie I Can't Wait To See: Daniel Craig Stars As Jewish Resistance Leader Who Fought & Killed Nazis; Gun Control vs. the Jews
By Debbie Schlussel
Earlier today, a reader made the misinformed commented that the Jews "willingly" went to their slaughter at the hands of the Nazis, "without even trying to fight back." That couldn't be farther from the truth. There are many books (like "They Fought Back," by Yuri Suhl), documentaries, etc. that document the Jewish resistance efforts. My own great-uncle died in the resistance, fighting the Nazis.
Since it's Holocaust Remembrance Day, I'm happy to present this trailer of "Defiance," starring the hot Daniel Craig ("James Bond") as one of the Bielski Boys, three Jewish brothers who lived in the forest, set up a militia, saved 1,200 Jews, and killed hundreds of Nazis. They also destroyed lots of Nazi weapons and munitions. They are many other groups of Jewish partisans and resistance fighters did, in fact, fight back--and kill--lots of Nazis. The movie comes out in December.
