When the Nazis murdered 2,200 Jews in his peaceful community, including his wife and daughter, Moshe responded not with prayer and grieving but with a cry for revenge. If Moshe was going to die, he was going to take as many Nazis with him as possible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBearing only a revolver, five bullets, and a Yiddish songbook, Moshe escaped to the forest with his son, a nephew, and nine other Jews. Fighting under the alias Uncle Misha, the engineer devised a number of intricate missions for the small but fearless brigade that became known as Uncle Misha's Jewish Group. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOperating in northern Ukraine under the leadership of their venerable and unlikely guerilla commander, this undaunted band of brothers and sisters is credited with carrying out more than 150 combat operations, blowing up bridges and other strategic targets.
