David Fishman discusses his new book, winner of the National Jewish Book Award for Holocaust. The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets, and the Race to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis is the nearly unbelievable story of ghetto inmates who rescued thousands of rare books and manuscripts – first from the Nazis and then from the Soviets – by hiding them on their bodies, burying them in bunkers, and smuggling them across borders. Based on Jewish, German, and Soviet documents, including diaries, letters, memoirs, and the author’s interviews with several of the story’s participants, The Book Smugglers chronicles the daring activities of a group of poets turned partisans and scholars turned smugglers in Vilna, “The Jerusalem of Lithuania.”
