Beginning with an account of Rachel's life as a precocious, privileged girl in pre-war Vilna, it goes on to detail life in the Vilna Ghetto, including the development of the FPO and its struggles against the Nazis. Finally, the book chronicles the escape of a group of FPO members into the forest of Belarus, where Rachel became a partisan fighter. Rather than "keep house" back at their bunker like other female partisans, Rachel demanded assignments to active duty alongside the men. Going on military assignments, she burned down a bridge, blew up railroad tracks, and helped bring in food supplies for her fellow partisans. The book opens with an introductory essay by renowned historian Antony Polonsky. 410 0$aJews of Poland 606 $aFareyniḳṭe parṭizaner organizatsye (Vilnius, Lithuania) -- Biography 606 $aMargolis, Raḥel 606 $aWomen guerrillas -- Belarus -- Biography 606 $aWomen guerrillas -- Lithuania -- Biography 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 -- Personal narratives, Jewish 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 -- Personal narratives, Lithuanian 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 -- Underground movements -- Belarus 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 -- Underground movements -- Lithuania 606 $aWomen guerrillas$xUnderground movements$zLithuania$vBiography 606 $aWomen guerrillas$xUnderground movements$zBelarus$vBiography 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zLithuania$vPersonal narratives, Lithuanian 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zBelarus$vPersonal narratives, Jewish 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zVilnius$zLithuania$vBiography 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aJewish women 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aHistory - General$2HILCC 608 $aBiographies.$2lcgft 615 4$aFareyniḳṭe parṭizaner organizatsye (Vilnius, Lithuania) -- Biography. 615 4$aMargolis, Raḥel. 615 4$aWomen guerrillas -- Belarus -- Biography. 615 4$aWomen guerrillas -- Lithuania -- Biography. 615 4$aWorld War, 1939-1945 -- Personal narratives, Jewish. 615 4$aWorld War, 1939-1945 -- Personal narratives, Lithuanian. 615 4$aWorld War, 1939-1945 -- Underground movements -- Belarus. 615 4$aWorld War, 1939-1945 -- Underground movements -- Lithuania. 615 0$aWomen guerrillas$xUnderground movements 615 0$aWomen guerrillas$xUnderground movements 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aJewish women 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aHistory - General 676 $a940.54864793 700 $aMargolis$b Rachel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01493549 701 $aJackson Piotrow$b F$01493550 701 $aPolonsky$b Antony$0539578 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781451403321 996 $aA Partisan from Vilna$93716560 997 $aUNINA
