Fantastic read.
The Avengers: A Jewish War Story, by Rich Cohen. It is the true story of three young Jews from Lithuania during and after World War II, two teenage girls - Ruzka and Vitka, and one young man, Abba. These three lived in the Vilna ghetto - along with 80,000 other Jews - and were part of a community of youth called the Young Guard.
Could not put the book down.

The Avengers is well-researched and reads like a fast paced action novel. Rich Cohen clearly knows his topic. He writes so well that it's hard to put the book down. I wish there had been more photos, and especially a map, but that's not why one picks up the book. The lives of Abba, Ruzcka and Vitka are why you read it. A great book.
