Interesting story about Jews in Belarus during WWII. The reason I could not enjoy this book was primarily the author's views. Not saying that she didn't have good things to say, but she is prejudiced against Russians, Belarusians, and Ukrainians. Guess what, I combine those in a three-in-one package. So, of course, when she talks about them you're like, I don't agree with you at all. And that's totally fine, she can have her own views. I just couldn't get involved in the book because of that. But otherwise, it was really interesting to see how an otriad functioned and how the partisan system was set up.
