متن يادداشت
This book is the only full biography in English of the partisan, poet, and patriot Abba Kovner (1918-1987), an unsung and largely unknown hero of the Second World War and Israel's War of Independence, born in Vilna, 'the Jerusalem of Lithuania'. Long before the rest of the world suspected, he was the first person to state that Hitler was planning to kill the Jews of Europe, and who, along with other defenders of the Vilna ghetto, escaped, only hours before its destruction, to the forest, to join the partisans fighting the Nazis.
