Legacy
Tuvia Bielski left behind a legacy of perseverance. He never gave up in trying to save as many lives even when the circumstances were against him. The group include a couple of thousand members, and they were up against around a million Nazi persecutors. He wanted to keep more Jewish people alive than taking Nazi’s lives like many other partisan groups. He also showed the world that revenge and violence is not always the answer. The Bielski brothers’ group was one of the few successful groups of Holocaust resistance, and they were the only group to save so many lives.
