SUMMARY:Courage and Compassion: The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Army Airborne & Special Operations Museum is pleased to present Courage and Compassion: The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers. This original\, award-winning exhibition showcases the heroic efforts of three brothers who helped save more than 1\,200 people while living in the forest during World War II. \nOperating in Western Belorussia (Belarus) between 1942 and 1944\, the Bielski partisan group was one of the most significant Jewish resistance efforts against Nazi Germany during World War II. As portrayed in the popular film Defiance\, the three brothers\, Tuvia\, Asael\, and Zus Bielski\, took refuge from the Nazis in the forests surrounding Novogrudok\, Belarus. In the forest\, they formed a community of men\, women\, and children. Through the brothers’ leadership\, the group survived starvation\, harsh winters\, and the threat of the Nazis and their collaborators. \nWhile its members did fight against the Germans and their collaborators\, the Bielski group leaders emphasized providing a safe haven for Jews\, particularly women\, children\, and elderly persons who managed to flee into the forests. \nFor more than two years the brothers commanded their partisan unit in the Belorussian forests.  Under the protection of the Bielski group\, more than 1\,200 Jews survived the war\, one of the most successful rescue efforts during the Holocaust. \nTheir acts of rescue during extremely dangerous times stands as a monument to courage and compassion. The Bielski brothers may be called Upstanders\, individuals willing to put their own lives in danger on behalf of others. This exhibition tells their story. \nCourage and Compassion:  The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers is on loan from The Florida Holocaust Museum and is on display in the ASOM’s temporary gallery from July 4\, 2022\, through November 13\, 2022.
