Mr. Sandler's Jewish History class hosts Benjamin Levin

Mr. Robert Sandler shares that last Friday, they had Benjamin Levin, a survivor who fought as a partisan with Abba Kovner in Lithuania against the Nazis and Lithuanian collaborators. Ben was a food smuggler, and blew up trains, bridges and was involved in the battle to liberate Vilna. He is still wanted by the Lithuanian police! He was interviewed by Steven Spielberg, and his photo hangs in the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. (photos courtesy of Mr. Sandler)
