An engrossing saga that adds significantly to the body of Holocaust
literature. Abraham H Foxman, National Director, Anti-Defamation
League. Abrashe Szabrinski used the Yiddish typewriter given to him
by his son Joe to record his unique story of survival and courage
during the dark days of WWII. But it was only after his father's
death that Joe found out the extent of Abrashe's exploits as a
leader of the partisans who fought the Nazis in the forests of
Lithuania. An officer in the Polish army, Abrashe fled ghettos and
forced labor camps, joined the resistance in Vilna, and became not
only a fighter, but also commander of partisan units serving under
the Red Army. Alongside well-known figures such as Abba Kovner, he
helped blow up bridges, railroad tracks, and munitions convoys,
slowing down the Nazi war machine. An outspoken critic of those who
headed the Judenrat as well as leaders of ideological movements,
Abrashe speaks directly to us. His straightforward, unpretentious
style makes his descriptions of heroic deeds his own and others all
the more riveting. This remarkable memoir is enhanced with
historical notes that help the reader follow Abrashe Szabrinski's
journey and learn more about the people he encounters along the
way. Like many Holocaust survivors, Abrashe did not divulge the
entire story of his survival to his children. Dared to Live is his
legacy to them, their children and grandchildren, and to us.
