I'm trying to remember details of a story I read years ago, but I'm only recalling the vaguest of details.
Basically a bochur who led a group others in one of the bigger ghettos in learning, completely ignoring and defying the Nazis. I'm thinking his name was Matis something, but I may be completely wrong. His group was knows as something-niks, maybe?
Anyways... I've read about him a couple of times but I can't remember details. Anyone have anything?
