The author of "The Truth about the Minsk
Getto", Abram Rubenchik, should have died
at age 13. It was so planned by Hitler and
his criminal regime. However thanks to
Abrams thirst for life, as well as some
good fortune, he survived the dreadful
conditions of the Minsk Getto and became a
partisan soldier. He struggled against
German invaders who slaughtered the Jews of
Belorussia - including his own family.
Abram Rubenchik wrote the book based on
his recollections many years after the
Second World War, But his tenacious
childhood mind recalls vivid pictures of
Jewish life in the Minsk Getto and in the
partisans as wel as the authors struggle
against his peoples killers
The book is indeed a riveting testimony
of one of the rare survivors of the Minsk
Getto. In the book, Abram pays homage to
those innocent European Jews killed in the
fires of Holocaust. At the same time, his
book serves as a monument to the Jewish
heroes - the fighters of the resistance.
The true value of the book lies in the
honesty and sincerity of the authors
writing in this retrospective documentary.
The author hopes that translating the
boor to English and Hebrew will indeed
enlighten those who know little or nothing
about the tragedy in the Minsk Ghetto.There
is now doubt that these translations will
educate the youth about the war, as well as
attempt the noble quest of protecting the
Peace.
