Summary of Rich Cohen's The Avengers

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Ruzka Korczak grew up in Poland during the Holocaust. She was a very smart and lively girl, but extremely shy. She spent most of her time alone. When she was fifteen, her father took her out of school to help the family, and she began working at a bakery. She vowed to make her way to Palestine.

#2 Ruzka was 18 when she left to go to Warsaw to join a Zionist youth group. She was not religious, but she believed in the story of the Jews and how each person turned it into their own personal story.

#3 The road to Warsaw was crowded with refugees. Ruzka made it to Vilna, which was still occupied by the Germans, and crossed into Russian territory. She then had to cross the Bug River.

#4 Ruzka was arrested as an illegal immigrant, but she was saved by the Zionists. She was sent to a building on the outskirts of the city that had been taken over by Zionist youth groups. She became friends with a girl named Vitka Kempner, who was about 20 years old.
