When Leizer Bart died, many that knew him approached his son Michael with stories about his father's bravery as a Lithuanian freedom fighter--stories that Michael Bart had never heard or knew anything about before. The experience set off a ten-year research expedition to discover a part of his father, that Bart hadn't known. 'Until Our Last Breath' is the culmination of Bart's research into his father's role inthe fight against Nazi occupation in World War Two. Bart, who co-wrote the book with Laurel Corona, evokes the spirit of the Jews who struggled against oppression, and the story is ultimatly a tribute to his family and to his people.
