This is a powerful book about the resistance of the Jews in Europe during the Second World War and the activities of a handful of the survivors of concentration camps who,after 1945,determined to avenge some of the millions of their dead bretheren.
Michael Elkins writes about the ghettos that were set up throughout Eastern Europe and how, one by one,they were destroyed but not before the Jews had fought to their last one and with great heroism.He writes about the heroes of the concentration camps,the few extraordinarily courageous men and women who dared to make a personal stand against the Germans,and who had the strength and fortitude to incite their companions to revolt.
In the first few months of 1945,fifty men and women,still imbued with the fighting spirit, formed a secret orgnisation which came to be known as DIN meaning 'judgement' in Hebrew.They were determined that the Nazis should know some of the pain,humiliation and torture that they had suffered.Many of the most powerful Nazis died at their hands and then they worked out the most daring plan of all - a scheme to poison the water supply to a quarter of a million German homes.
'Forged in Fury' is a remarkable work,written in white-hot anger about the most abominable evil ever known to mankind.It is an unforgettable book which will take its place among the best work available on the Second World War.
Scarce as a 1st edn and equally so as an export edn - even as a reprint.
