Although it is true that throughout history, men have had more _opportunities_ to become inventors/scientists/writers/famous, it should be all the more incentive to celebrate women&#039;s achievements.

		<description><![CDATA[May 9, 1942: The Zoludek Ghetto (in Belarus) is destroyed and all its inhabitants murdered or deported. Except for Pessia Lewit. 

Here&#039;s an extract from &quot;Fugitives of the Forest&quot;:
***
Not far away, in the town of Zoludek, eighteen-year-old Pessia
Lewit (now Bairach) barely survived an Aktion on May 9, 1942,
that took the lives of her family and hundreds of other Jews. She
eluded capture by hiding with two neighborhood children, whose
parents had been shot, in a maline that had been built in the attic
of a cowshed. All around her, other groups of Jews in hiding were
found and executed. Too frightened to react, she remembers hear-
ing the voices of her Polish and Belorussian classmates searching
vacant Jewish homes for imagined treasures. Finally, they found
something.
&quot;It was our Passover dishes that we kept in the attic,&quot; she
writes. “The special dishes and glasses aroused, for some reason,
their mockery. ‘Here are their glasses! And look at their plates!’
They would scream in the midst of their excitement. The Gentiles’
visits became more and more frequent. They were coming from
the villages . . . in search of treasures. With axes and shovels they
would hammer the walls.”
After more than a week without food and water, Pessia emerged
and was immediately apprehended by a Polish policeman she had
met earlier. His name was Yanish. She prepared herself to die, but
Yanish did not kill her. Instead, he gave her food and water and
allowed her to return to her hiding place. He also told her that only
eighty Jews, skilled craftsmen and their families, had been allowed
to live. Among them was a man named Moshe Bairach, a Jew from
a nearby town whom she had been introduced to in the ghetto.
Within a few days, Yanish had ﬁgured out a way to save Pessia and
the two children: She would be listed as Moshe Bairach’s wife and
the children as part of another family.
Soon after, Bairach was transferred to the Lida ghetto and Pes-
sia was permitted to join him. They had barely known each other
in Zoluclek, but Bairach was more than happy to care for her. In
time, they fell in love and were married. In Lida, Bairach began
making contacts with visiting partisans from Tuvia Bielskis group.
He and Pessia decided to leave for the forest at the ﬁrst opportu-
nity. Their escape, together with about thirty other people, includ~
ing children, ﬁnally took place one evening in May 1943.
***
After the war, Pessia moved to Israel, where she worked in the Israeli Museum of the Diaspora.
