Rather Die Fighting. Frank Blaichman, Arcade Publishing, 2009.
ISBN: 9781559709170
This is a harrowing, utterly moving memoir of a young Polish Jew who chose not to go quietly and defied the mighty German Nazi war machine during World War II. Frank Blaichman was sixteen years old when the war broke out. In 1942, the killings began in Poland.
With his family and friends decimated by the roundups, Blaichman decided that he would rather die fighting; he set off for the forest to find the underground bunkers of Jews who had already escaped. Together they formed a partisan force dedicated to fighting the Germans.
Nice condition with lightly bumped bottom corner tips and a jacket with very light wear. About 8-1/2 x 5-3/4 with 210 pages.
