“On the night the SS rounded up the Jews of his Ukrainian ghetto, eighteen-year-old Yosel Epelbaum crawled on his hands and knees to a nearby forest. There he joined a diverse band of pro-Soviet partisans, led by a kind of warlord in the wilderness, who created a forest republic behind Nazi lines.” It is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Here’s the incredible, awe-inspiring, story of a guy who fought back (and who is about to celebrate his 90th birthday). My dad. This is his book: Taking Risks.
