DEFIANCE
After the invading Nazis kill the parents of the
Bielski brother, Tuvia, Zus and Asael, they flee to the forests of Belorussia, where they gradually find other Jews hiding
out from the Germans. They make an arrangement with a stay behind Red Army
partisan unit. In return for protection the Jews will provide supplies. Zus
doesn’t like his brother’s plan to avoid the Germans to protect the elderly and
women who are in the camp and joins the partisans to fight. The do participate
in an attack to get medicine to fight a typhus outbreak. Tuvia shoots a fighter
who opposes his directive that everyone gets an equal share of food. Problems
arise when Tuvia’s cousin Tamara, who had been raped by the Germans, gives
birth to a baby. On March 30, 1942 [1:39:35 to 1:43:00] two days before
Passover they capture a German supporter and learn of a planned attack on their
camp in two days time. They flee and cross a seemingly impenetrable swamp to escape
the German assault, while Asael leads a holding force. On the other side of the swamp German tanks
attack them and all hope seems lost until a band of partisans, led by Zus saves
them. While Asael was killed fighting
with the Red Army, after the war Tuvia and Zus emigrated to the United States
