(Times of Israel) Rich Tenorio - Leonid Berenshtein, a Soviet Jew born in Ukraine, became a legendary partisan commander during World War II. In 1944, he located a factory in Poland that produced Hitler's dreaded V2 rockets. The factory was subsequently bombed by the Red Army. His story is shared in a new docudrama film, "Berenshtein." Georgian-Israeli director Roman Shumunov recalled, "When I met him, he was 95 years old. He lived in a very, very small apartment....No one knew anything about him in Israel....I was sitting with a man who was responsible for great, internationally significant things in the Second World War that changed the whole outcome of the war."
