When asked to escape alone, he refused. They would survive together -- or not at all.

In 1942, resistance fighters offered Morris a way out of the Pruzhany ghetto. One condition: no women. He was a trained Polish Army corporal -- he knew how to fight. But he would never leave without Regina.

So they made their own plan.

Months before the liquidation, Morris and Regina dug a bunker under a barn. Regina -- a nurse whose skills would later secure their place in a partisan brigade -- smuggled a radio battery and supplies through the ghetto gates, risking death with every crossing. Morris cultivated alliances with Bialorussian farmers, friendships that would later save their lives.

When the ghetto was liquidated and nearly 10,000 Jews were deported to Auschwitz, Morris and Regina vanished into the forest.

One More Miracle chronicles the harrowing journey that followed: a week lost in the frozen birch forests, acceptance into the Chapayev Brigade, sabotage missions against Nazi installations, and twice being lined up for execution by anti-Semitic partisans -- only to be saved by the very alliances Morris had forged in the ghetto.

This memoir reveals:

• A Vanished World: Jewish life woven into the villages and towns of pre-war Poland.

• The Resistance: The calculated risks of partisan warfare, from smuggled batteries to burned police stations.

• A Partnership: A marriage forged in fire, with husband and wife playing different, vital roles in the fight.

• Humanity Amidst Horror: How bonds forged across ethnic lines outlasted the Nazi effort to sever them.



Morris Sorid documented this history across decades -- through recorded testimonies and written accounts. This book is the culmination of that lifelong record.

They survived the Nazis. They outmaneuvered the Soviets. They built a new life in America. Discover the story of the miracle that started it all.
