World War II survivor to share story
World War II survivor Aron Bielski will share his story at 7 p.m. April 27 in the auditorium at Ohio County Public Library in Wheeling, W.Va.
The incredible true story of the Bielski brothers was chronicled in books and made famous by the 2008 biographical movie “Defiance.” Four brothers, Tuvia, Asael, Zus and Aron Bielski, each played a pivotal role as partisans fighting the Nazi regime while also rescuing Jews and organizing a community in the woods. Today. only Aron is alive to tell their story and at 91 years old, he still remembers it clearly.
Aron Bielski’s book, which was co-authored by his friend Stuart Schulman, is titled “Caught Between Hitler and Stalin.” A signed copy will be available to purchase following the program for a tax-deductible donation to the Bielski Foundation.
