The story of Sarah from Ivatzevichi comes to us from Dr. Leonid Smilovitsky, a frequent contributor and prolific historian of the Holocaust in the former USSR. We thank him for this wonderfully detailed view of life between the wars, under the Nazi occupation, and with the partisans, as experienced by Sarah, the sole survivor of her family.
