93 Year Old Swindled
Janina Zaniewska was swindled out of $260,000, kidnapped,
and put in sanatorium in Poland. The Jewish couple persuaded her to
give them power of attorney over her bank accounts, investigators
said.
In May, the Beilskis flew with Zaniewska to Poland under the guise of
taking her to visit old friends, police said. The Bells dropped her at
a nursing home and returned to Palm Beach.

Spielberg Calls Them War Heroes
The Bielski brothers fled their village, hid out in the forest, determined to resist, fight and
save lives. The brothers' encampment grew to include hundreds of armed
fighters, families, children and elderly.
Their partisan movement ultimately rescued some 1,200 Jews.
"To save a Jew is much more important than to kill Germans," Tuvia
Bielski would tell his followers.
Hollywood plans a movie next year.
