LEVIN, DOV. The story of an underground: the resistance of the Jews of Kovno in the second World War. By Dov Levin and Zvie A. Brown. Translated by Jessica Setbon. Jerusalem: Gefen, 2014, 1st printing number line starting with 1, 496pp., . "The Jewish communities of Eastern Europe suffered the terrible fate of being the first victims of the "Final Solution" designed by Nazi leaders for the Jews of Europe. In their broad areas of conquest, instead of immediately annihilating the entire population, the Germans kept some Jews alive to use as a work force to serve the German war machine. In a number of ghetto communities, there was time enough for the Jewish community to organize and develop a strong fighting underground. this is the story of one such community in the city of Kovno, Lithuania." - CONTENTS: Part I Ravage and Horror -- 1 Murder and Plunder 3 -- 2 The Ghetto in Frenzy 21 -- 3 Birth of the Underground 55 -- Part II The Awakening -- 4 Toward Active Resistance 105 -- 5 The First Breakthrough 127 -- 6 Escape from the Fortress of Death 157 -- Part III Momentum -- 7 The Partisan Forest Receives the Ghetto Fighters 185 -- 8 The Preparations Behind the Departures to the Forest 226 -- 9 The Resistance Movement in the Labor Camps 263 -- Part IV War of Revenge -- 10 The Birth of the Kovno Battalions 277 -- 11 Way of Life and Social Relations in the Partisan Units 306 -- 12 Supply and Defense Activities 345 -- 13 Partisan Missions 362 -- Part V The Final Days -- 14 Last Days of the Kovno Ghetto 401 -- 15 Liberation 431.
