The Six Days Of Yad-Mordechai (1998) By Margaret Larkin
Yad Mordechai , a kibbutz in the Negev desert, 10 km south of Ashkelon, was named after Mordechai Anielewicz, who died fighting the Nazis while being the commander of the Jewish Fighting Organization in the Warsaw Ghetto. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the kibbutz was attacked by Egypt, in the Battle of Yad Mordechai.
This book tells how 110 courageous residents of Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, many of them Holocaust survivors and refugees from Nazi Europe, and 10 Palmach fighters held off Egyptian forces for six days, with a small supply of weapons. Against them were ranged 2 infantry battalions, 1 armoured batalion , 1 artillery batalion and 2 artillery regiments.
