This documentary is the personal retelling 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."
