Description:

Softcover edition. Largely based on personal interviews with survivors who were there, Those Who Never Yielded recounts the story of "Mati's Men" and their profoundly heroic quest for Torah-greatness in the face of Nazi brutality. Under the leadership of the youthful genius, Mattisyahu Gellmann, these chassidim of the Rebbe of Ger allowed nothing – not even the threat of death – to deter them from their immersion in Torah study and acts of kindness. Far from becoming dehumanized, "Mati's Men" used the horrors of Hitler's war to reach sublime spiritual heights. Originally published in 1980, this hugely influential book has been out of print for decades.
