As the Nazis escalated their atrocities, deportations to concentration camps became more frequent. David and Sarah were separated, torn apart by barbed wire fences and the cruelty of their captors. But their love endured, serving as a beacon of hope that kept them going even in the darkest of times.

Determined to resist the Nazis, David joined an underground resistance movement within the concentration camp. He risked his life every day to gather intelligence and sabotage Nazi operations. His actions were driven not only by a desire for personal survival but also to protect others from the horrors of the Holocaust.

Sarah, on the other hand, found solace in her ability to create art within the confines of the camp. She channeled her pain, frustration, and anger into her drawings, each stroke of the pencil a small act of defiance against their oppressors. Her artworks silently screamed of resistance, refusing to let the Nazis extinguish the spirit of humanity.

Separated by physical barriers, David and Sarah relied on their love and hope to keep each other going. They secretly communicated through hidden messages and acts of kindness, always reminding each other that they were not alone in this fight for survival. Their unwavering love became their source of strength and resilience.

As the war raged on, liberation finally arrived. David, having survived the horrors of the concentration camp through sheer determination and resistance, was finally reunited with Sarah. The world around them was left in ruins, but their love remained intact, shining through the darkness as a testament to the indomitable human spirit.

Their story of love and resistance serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit even in the face of unspeakable horrors. It is a testament to the power of love to provide hope, courage, and strength in the darkest of times. Their story must be told and remembered, ensuring that the atrocities of the Holocaust are never forgotten.

Today, we can honor the memory of David and Sarah by understanding their story, by learning from their strength and resilience, and by ensuring that such hatred and persecution never happen again. Their story is a call to action, urging us to stand up against injustice and to spread love and kindness in a world that so desperately needs it.

As we look back on history, let us never forget the Holocaust, the millions of lives cut short, and the stories of love and resistance that emerged from its darkness. Through sharing and preserving these stories, we honor the survivors, keep their memory alive, and ensure that the lessons of the past guide us towards a better future.

The memoir of a man and woman who escaped into the forest, joined the Jewish partisans—and fell in love—as Hitler laid waste to their Polish hometowns.
 
Jack and Rochelle first met at a youth dance in Poland before the war. They shared one dance, and Jack stepped on Rochelle’s shoes. She was unimpressed. When the Nazis invaded eastern Poland in 1941, both Jack (in the town of Mir) and Rochelle (in the town of Stolpce) witnessed the horrors of ghettoization, forced labor, and mass killings that decimated their families. Jack and Rochelle managed, in their separate ways, to escape into the forest. They reunited, against all odds, in the winter of 1942–43 and became Jewish partisans who fought back against the Nazis. The couple’s careful courtship soon blossomed into an enduring love that sustained them through the raging hatred of the Holocaust and the destruction of the lives they had known.
 
Jack and Rochelle’s story, told in their own voices through extensive interviews with their son, Lawrence, has been in print for twenty years and is celebrated as a classic of Holocaust memoir literature. This is the first electronic edition.
