An account of Jewish partisan fighters in the Soviet Union during World War II has just been published here in Hebrew by Archion Haavodah with the cooperation of the Yad Vashem, the Martins’ memorial and archives in Jerusalem. The volume, edited by Benjamin West, a Hebrew writer and authority on Soviet Jewry, is entitled “They Were Many” and was developed from Russian and Yiddish sources. The bulk of the volume was translated from the Russian document “Partisan Brotherhood,” which was prepared in Moscow in October, 1948 by the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee but never published in Russia.
