About This Novel
In the final days of World War II, a strange Jewish guerrilla group set out from Russia, traveled through war-torn Poland and Germany, and fought all the way to Italy. They escaped massacres and came on blood-stained roads, including stragglers of the Red Army, survivors of labor camps, and even actors and violinists. They shouldered the weapons they seized from the Germans, worked hard to earn human dignity, tasted the bitterness of killing many times, and experienced many adventures - bombing trains, rescuing the last survivors in concentration camps, transferring German airdrop supplies... They wrote the motto from the Talmud into the team song: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?" Through this book, Levi "wants to pay tribute to those Jews, whether they are a few or a large number, they have all found dignity and freedom again in this struggle with great disparity of power." The "Levi's Works" series also includes "The Submerged and the Rescued", "The Trade of Others", "This Is Auschwitz: Evidence 1945-1986", "The Wrench", "Truce", "Uncertain Moments: Selected Poems of Levi", "Moments of Reprieve", "Voices of Memory: Interviews with Levi 1961-1987", "I Talking to You: Conversations between Levi and Tessio", etc.
