Another Jewish/resistance hero film. Only on closer inspection of Bielski brothers I found out that they were common criminals that belonged to a Zionist Youth Movement. They sympathized with the Bolshevik Russians to terrorize the local Polish Gentile population. They made a deal with Russians to dispossess the local Polish farmers of their land and possessions and divided up the booty. They terrorized any Poles that tended to prefer German occupation to Russian (which was most of the Poles).
They were responsible for the Naliboki massacre as well as many other crimes. The Polish government are investigating their war crimes. Only in Hollywood are these scum-bags heros.
In 2007, Aron Bielski who was portrayed in the movie(now Aron Bell) and his wife kidnapped a 93 year old neighbor they had befriended. Then they tricked this senile old lady to take a trip with them to Poland where they placed her in a nursing home and somehow coerced the rights to her life savings and were entrusted with her estate. She was saved by an investigator hired by a Polish-American group that grew suspicious when she never returned from Poland. Real "heros." Criminals before the war, during, and after the war.
