Thanks for the recommendations. I love Audrey, too. In fact her, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' movie poster is in my kitchen.

My favorite 'inspirational book' based upon true evens is 'In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer' by Irene Gut Opdyke.

"You must understand that I did not become a resistance fighter, a smuggler of Jews, a defier of the SS and the Nazis all at once. One's first steps are always small: I had begun by hiding food under a fence."

I think it's been made into a movie with great reviews, but I haven't seen it, yet.

Thanks for the book recommendation. The book titled: "The Avengers" by Rich Cohen, tells the story of Jewish resistance fighters in the Lithuanian ghetto of Vilna. Their small group escaped when the Russians showed up, and eventually made it to Palestine. The author Rich Cohen is related to one of The Avengers through his grandmother. It's a very good book about what went on inside the ghetto.
