Review: Defiance, Directed by Edward Zwick

Submitted by Holocaust Aware... on Tue, 07/28/2009 - 2:32pm

Starring Daniel Craig, Jaime Bell, and Liev Schreiber, Defiance (2009), an addition to the plethora of Holocaust and World War II films recently released, is about the Bielski Otriad, a group of Jewish partisans, survivors of Nazi pogroms in Poland. Based on the true story of four brothers who helped save over 1,200 Jews from the Nazis and their Polish collaborators, Defiance, directed by Edward Zwick, is a worthy film that attempts to portray Jews not as victims but as heroes, fighters, and survivors.
