"A Partisan from Vilna" is the memoir of Rachel Margolis, the sole
survivor of her family, who escaped from the Vilna Ghetto with
other members of the resistance movement, the FPO (United Partisan
Organization), and joined the Soviet partisans in the forests of
Lithuania to sabotage the Nazis. Beginning with an account of
Rachel's life as a precocious, privileged girl in pre-war Vilna, it
goes on to detail life in the Vilna Ghetto, including the
development and struggles of the FPO against the Nazis. Finally,
the book chronicles the escape of a group of FPO members into the
forest of Belorussia, where Rachel became a partisan fighter.
Rachel Margolis received a Ph.D. in biology in and taught until the
late 1980's. She then co-founded Lithuania's only real Holocaust
museum, the Green House in Vilnius. She is also responsible for the
discovery and transcription of the Kazimierz Sakowicz diary,
published here in the US under the title, "Ponary Diary: A
Bystander's Account of Mass Murder" (Yale University Press, 2004).
The book opens with an introductory essay by renowned Polish
historian, Antony Polonsky.
