Through archival film footage and interviews, Four Winters tells a story during the Holocaust of how Jews resisted when possible and did not simply go quietly. Over 25,000 Jews escaped to the forests of Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and Lithuania and fought the Nazis in every way they could. They blew up trains and bridges and staged armed attacks and acts of sabotage against the enemy. Many were young men and women in their teens who demonstrated exceptional courage despite danger and loss.
This powerful doc is recommended for anyone looking for real footage from this time of despair and for a story they can discuss.
