Ehud Diskin’s historical WW2 novel opens as the Nazis armies capture the western part of Russia, including Belorussia and its capital Minsk. Jews are fenced into ghettos from which they are taken to killings ravines. Seventeen-year-old David escapes the ghetto by himself and joins the partisans. During the next three years, he survives by fighting German soldiers and hiding in the forest and marshes. He quickly matures beyond his age and acquires fighting and survival skills.
In 1944, upon the liberation of Belarus by the Soviet army, David and several Jewish partisans settle their scores with some of the locals who had actively participated in murdering their families. David travels westward through war-town Poland and via Italy, and lands in Palestine in September 1945.
To his greatest shock, David discovers that British soldiers hunt down the illegally arrived survivors of the war and Holocaust. It ignites his ire and he decides to hunt the soldiers them down himself. For the next two years, David does so covertly, keeping it secret from his closest friends and from his girlfriend. He refuses to join any of the several Jewish resistance groups that are active throughout Palestine and in Jerusalem.
The author, who is the seventh generation of Jerusalemites, presents the city, its inhabitants and the dramatic days in that pre-independence Israel in minute details.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword: Battling with Soviet Propaganda
Lev Shapiro
The Pen is Mightier than the Sword: Battling with Soviet Propaganda presents a new window into the struggle of Soviet Jews for their freedoms and rights. This was an intellectual barricade at which the activists, utilizing Soviet law, regulations and the Constitution itself, safeguarded meaningful tidbits of freedom within the Soviet totalitarian system.
Each chapter of this Exodus should be read and reread in each generation. Shapiro was not merely another Jewish activist, but was one of its leaders and the only witness for the defense at the famous trial of the “hijackers of the airplane”.
