"The complex problems raised by the bitter conflicts between the pro-Soviet and nationalist resistance movements...remains one of the few topics related to the Holocaust which still needs both serious academic discussion and popularization.... Jews who wished to resist had little alternative...than to ally themselves with the Soviets. This however both intensified local anti-Semitism and placed the Jewish resisters in a movement whose goals were not always consistent either with Jewish interests or with wider democratic goals as understood in the West. At the same time, the heroism of such individuals and their contribution to the ultimate allied victory cannot be denied. I very much look forward to working with you on this complex and painful topic and producing a film that will do justice to all those involved."
