The Defiant Part I
"I think people are generally surprised there were in fact a large number of Jewish men and women who took up arms against the Nazis," says Dr. David Marwell, Director of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, as he introduces Shalom Yoran, who, after his parents were killed, refused to yield to the German onslaught, and instead chose to become a Jewish resistance fighter. Based on the acclaimed book, The Defiant, written by Shalom, this documentary is the personal re-telling of the author's Holocaust memoirs, a true story of survival and courage in the darkest days of World War II. Filled with rare archival footage generously provided by the Ghetto Fighter's House in Israel, the Museum of Jewish Heritage in NY, the U. S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, DC, this is the amazing and moving story of a handful of courageous men and women who fought against incredible odds, who truly were the defiant.
