Abstract

Before the war, Eleazar Segal lived in the town of Hancewicze in western Polesie (today the Brest Oblast in Belarus). He was involved in the timber trade. After June 22, 1941, he escaped with his wife to the town of Lachowicze. When in 1942 the Germans murdered most of the ghetto prisoners, the Segal family fled to the forest. For the next two years, they fought for survival, with the help of Soviet partisans and then the NKGB diversionary group. Segal documents the activities of the Soviet partisans and their diverse attitudes towards Jews.
