Books for Secondary Students - Escaping Into The Night

The Story

The Nazis have sent Halina and her mother to live in a ghetto. She manages to escape when the ghetto is destroyed but her mother’s life is taken. Halina and Batya, her friend join other Jewish escapees who live in a secret camp in the woods. The book tells of the group’s struggle to resist and survive and is based on the author’s study of Tuvia Bielski and his brothers and the network of camps in the forests of Belorussia.
