An inspiring story of hope and courage, depicting the struggles of young Zionist resistance fighters during the Holocaust. Based on a composite of Jewish historical characters. Their acts of resistance were morally compelling and spiritually significant, the very stuff that would shape historical memory. "For Three Lines" is a masterful story, based on real events, about teens' resilience, love and courage in the face of unbearable tragedy. It brings to life the Holocaust's gray complexities and the huge role Jewish youth groups played in Jewish resistance. The title is based on the quote from Aharon Liebeskind (1912-1942): Unwilling to go like sheep to the slaughter, his Jewish youth group desperately fought the Nazis "for three lines in history." THE REAL PEOPLE upon whom the characters are based made gut-wrenching decisions "for three lines in history." They wanted so badly to be remembered; this book is a monument to their lives.
