Reviews

Rudnicki does an excellent job narrating this sometimes harrowing tale, able to switch from one accent to another, one language to another with ease. Highly detailed with the minutiae of everyday life, this won't have broad appeal, but for the interested, it is an eye-opening account of a relatively little-known movement. -- SoundCommentary.com An exciting story of rescuers and fighters--a story that should have been documented years ago...Defiance will no doubt engender further interest in the subject of Jewish partisan activity. -- Social Education Powerful...A remarkable story of a great leader, as well as of a neglected aspect of WWII. -- Kirkus Reviews Stefan Rudnicki proves himself equal to the challenge...Rudnicki's clear presentation helps the listener navigate the densely packed historical material. One of his greatest strengths is his ease with the language of the story's setting. His pronunciation of names and his use of the slightest of accents when rendering the passages of dialogue are completely authentic and comfortable. The material itself is riveting. -- AudioFile Suspenseful and inspiring. -- Publishers Weekly We are again in the debt of Nechama Tec for offering us yet another unforgettable account of heroic Jewish survival in the midst of untold death and destruction with Defiance. -- Jewish Spectator Powerful and meticulous...Defiance must be cherished. -- New Republic One of the most elevating and inspiring stories in the chronicle of death and despair that is the Holocaust...an accomplished and startling work of Holocaust documentation. -- Los Angeles Times
