Leon Senders' war prepared under the auspices of the Holocaust Eyewitness Project

The film shows Leon Senders addressing an adult group at the Washington Hebrew Congregation. Born Lazar Sendarovich in Vilna Lithuania, then a part of Poland, he fled to the forests following the Nazi invasion. His family stayed behind and died in Polnar. He was trained in guerrilla warfare in Moscow and spent the war as a partisan radio operator, often miles behind enemy lines, including several months in Konigsberg.
