About the book
Izzy s Fire Finding Humanity in the Holocaust (revised 2008) tells the harrowing yet hope-filled true story of five Lithuanian Jewish families during the Holocaust who escaped Kovno Ghetto and were ultimately hidden (and saved) by a Catholic farm family. All 13 Jews ended up living in a 9 x 12 x 4 underground hole as World War II raged around them. Some lived underground for about seven months. Beasley draws from personal interviews, research and numerous memoirs, including extensive memoirs from Israel "Izzy" Ipson, who helped his family escape from Kovno Ghetto, one of the most notorious killing fields for Jews in Lithuania. The Ipps, as they were known then, relocated to Richmond following their liberation and later changed their name to Ipson.
