Details:

June 1941: German troops occupy Białystok, abruptly overwhelming the city, terrorizing its largely Jewish population and threatening them with annihilation. A young man, Srolke Kot reads a note taped to the outside of the Judenrat door — “RESIST!” With the courage of desperation, 25-year-old Srolke joins the Jewish underground and fights, alongside Jewish partisans and the Red Army, against the Nazis and their collaborators.

Khurbn Białystok is the inspiring story of Jewish defiance and survival in the face of incredible odds.
