UNTIL OUR LAST BREATH
A Holocaust Story of Love and Partisan Resistance
Memorabilia from Liberation
Photos taken July 14, 1944
When the Red Army together with the Partisans of Vilna liberated the city, Ilya Ehrenburg, a well known journalist, was in Vilna to record the event. Ehrenburg, a Russian Jew, wrote articles about the Jewish partisans that were published in both Pravda and Red Star. Here is an article that was saved by my father. He is pictured coming into Vilna with the "Avengers" group in the top right photo in the far back. My father was given an original of this photo that he kept with him and is in my possession today.
