Tunnel of Hope: Escape from the Novogrudok forced Labor Camp is likely to have been the greatest prisoner escape of the Holocaust through a 200 meter tunnel, the longest hand-dug tunnel of World War II. This escape in present-day Belarus was planned and executed by approximately 240 Jewish prisoners under the noses of their Nazi captors. In her book, the author has identified most of the escapees and found that at least 133 survived the escape. With the help of a genealogist, she located their descendants all over the world in order to write their inspiring pre and post-war life stories. She has also explored the important role of the nearby Bielski partisans in triggering the escape as well as the process of interviewing the second generation survivors. This book is a story of courage, persistence, and determination. Most of all it is a story of hope and of choosing life. The book's 716 pages including 16 pages of color photographs
