Tuvia Bielski (May 8, 1906 – June 12, 1987) was the leader of the Bielski group, Jewish partisans who were situated in the Naliboki forest in pre-war Poland (now western Belarus) during World War II. ==Biography== Bielski grew up in the only Polish Jewish family in Stankiewicze. The small village in Eastern Poland (now Western Belarus) is located between towns of Lida and Navahrudak, both of which housed Jewish ghettos during World War II. Tuvia was the son of David and Beila Bielski, who had 12 children: 10 boys and two girls. Tuvia was the third eldest. His brothers Asael, Alexander ("Zus") and Aron were later to become members of his partisan group. During the First World War, Bielski served as an interpreter for the Imperial German Army, which were occupying the western territories of the Russian Empire. Already a speaker of Yiddish, he learned to speak the German language from these men and remembered it all his life. In 1927, he was recruited into the Polish Army, where he eventually became a corporal in the 30th Infantry Battalion. After completing his military service, Bielski returned home. In an effort to add to his family's income, he rented another mill. This income was still inadequate, so in 1929, at the age of 23, he married an older woman named Rifka who owned a general store and a large house. The couple lived in the nearby small town of Subotniki. During the Soviet occupation in 1939, Bielski feared that he would be arrested by the NKVD due to his "bourgeois capitalist" occupation, so he moved to Lida.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tuvia Bielski (1906 - 1987) - Find A Grave Memorial )〕 Before Tuvia left Subotniki he urged his wife, Rifka, to join him in the move to Lida. She refused. In Soviet-controlled Lida, Bielski met and fell in love with another woman named Lilka. The love affair became serious. In late 1939, Bielski divorced his wife, Rifka and married Lilka, though they were not yet "officially" married due to wartime conditions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tuvia Bielski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
