You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Asael Bielski''' (((IPAc-en|ˈ|ɑː|s|ɔɪ|l)) ((respell|AH|soyl)); 1908 – February 1945) was the second-in-command of the [[Bielski partisans]] during ((nowrap|[[World War II]])).

==Early life==
Asael was the fifth son of David and Beila Bielski, who had a total of twelve children: ten boys and two girls. He was two years younger than his brother [[Tuvie Bielski|Tuvia]], who later commanded the Bielski Otriad. The Bielskis were the only Jewish family of Stankiewicze, a small village in [[Second Polish Republic|pre-war Poland]], currently [[Western Belarus]]. It was located between [[Lida]] and [[Navahrudak]] (called Nowogródek in Polish), both of which later housed Jewish [[ghetto]]s during World War II.<ref>((cite book|last=Tec | first=Nechama | title=Defiance; the Bielski Partisan | location=New York | publisher=Oxford University Press | year=2009 | page=5))</ref> He was quieter and more reserved than his brothers, and was content to stay on the farm and around those he knew well.<ref>((cite book |last1=Tec |first1=Nechama |title=Defiance: The Bielski Partisans |date=1993 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=0195376854 |page=12 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tM9EeN01rvYC&q=assemble+Jasinowo&pg=PA241 |access-date=9 May 2021))</ref>

With his older brothers leaving home and his father's health deteriorating, Asael became the new head of the household. As the male leader of the family, he had to arrange the marriage of his sister Tajba to an upper-class man named Avremale.<ref>((cite book|last=Tec | first=Nechama | title=Defiance; the Bielski Partisan | location=New York | publisher=Oxford University Press | year=2009 | page=12))</ref>

Avremale had a sister named Chaja, who was a high school graduate, which was rare for the time and place. Hearing that Asael needed help with bookkeeping, Chaja offered to tutor him.<ref>((cite book |last1=Tec |first1=Nechama |title=Defiance: The Bielski Partisans |date=1993 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=0195376854 |page=12 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tM9EeN01rvYC&q=assemble+Jasinowo&pg=PA241 |access-date=9 May 2021))</ref>

==World War II==
When [[Operation Barbarossa]] broke out, [[Tuvie Bielski|Tuvia]], [[Alexander Zeisal Bielski|Zus]] and Asael were called up by their army units to fight against the [[Nazi Germany|Nazi German]] occupiers. Owing to so much chaos the units disbanded and they returned to Stankiewicze,<ref>((cite book| title=Defiance: The Bielski Partisans| url=https://archive.org/details/defiancebielskip00tecn_0| url-access=limited| author=Tec, Nechama|year=1993|pages=[https://archive.org/details/defiancebielskip00tecn_0/page/25 25]–26| publisher=Oxford University Press US|isbn=0195093909))</ref> where their parents lived. In early July 1941, a German army unit arrived in Stankiewicze, and Jewish residents were moved into a ghetto in [[Navahrudak|Nowogródek]].

After [[Operation Barbarossa]], Asael and two of his brothers, Tuvia and Zus, went into hiding in nearby forests.

Before joining them, Chaja had lived in a ghetto at first, then fled, leaving her boyfriend there. She lived in an underground hiding spot near the home of a Christian peasant, along with her two nephews. Asael and Chaja were married shortly before the war's end.((citation needed|date=December 2014))

After the Soviet occupation of the area, Asael was drafted into the Soviet [[Red Army]], and six months later he was killed in the [[Battle of Königsberg]] in February 1945.<ref name=wojna>((in lang|pl)) Piotr Głuchowski, Marcin Kowalski, [http://wyborcza.pl/duzyformat/1,127290,6147557,Wojna_polsko_ruska_pod_bokiem_niemieckim.html Wojna polsko-ruska pod bokiem niemieckim], Gazeta Wyborcza, 13 January 2009</ref> He never lived to see his daughter Assaela, who he had fathered with Chaja (1922–2017). Assaela now works as a journalist and is married to [[Amnon Weinstein]].

==Asael in history and in film==
In the film ''[[Defiance (2008 film)|Defiance]]'' (2008), Asael (portrayed by British actor [[Jamie Bell]]) is the third of four brothers and seems to be about 20 years of age, or perhaps younger. In actuality, Asael was about 33 years of age (born in 1908) at the time of the invasion and was older than Zus (born in 1912), which is contrary to the relationship depicted in the film.

The film has been criticised in Poland due to its complete omission of all Polish aspects in the narrative, even though the setting is on territory that was part of Poland before the war and inhabited by a large number of ethnic Poles. Specifically, Tuvia was a veteran of the Polish army, and other Polish partisans were also active in the forests of present-day Belarus, but the film only presents the roles of Jews, Russians, and Germans.  There was also controversy about the alleged involvement of the Bielski group in a [[Naliboki massacre|massacre of Polish civilians]] conducted by Soviet-aligned partisans in [[Naliboki]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.rp.pl/artykul/153227,251214_Bohater_w_cieniu_zbrodni_.html |access-date=25 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004034239/http://www.rp.pl/artykul/153227%2C251214_Bohater_w_cieniu_zbrodni_.html |archive-date=4 October 2012 |title=Bohater w cieniu zbrodni &#124; rp.pl ))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.rp.pl/artykul/61991,256256_Bielski__w_puszczy__niedomowien.html |access-date=25 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718023830/http://www.rp.pl/artykul/61991%2C256256_Bielski__w_puszczy__niedomowien.html |archive-date=18 July 2011 |title=Bielski w puszczy niedomówień &#124; rp.pl ))</ref> The Bielski partisan group was the subject of an official inquiry by the Polish [[Institute of National Remembrance]]'s Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation after witnesses testified that Bielski partisans were among the perpetrators of the Naliboki massacre; however, the investigation found no conclusive evidence linking the Bielski group to the crime.<ref>((cite web|url=https://ipn.gov.pl/pl/dla-mediow/komunikaty/10278,Komunikat-dot-sledztwa-w-sprawie-zbrodni-popelnionych-przez-partyzantow-sowiecki.html|title=Instytut Pamięci Narodowej &#124; Komunikat dot. śledztwa w sprawie zbrodni popełnionych przez |website=Ipn.gov.pl |date=2008-06-19 |access-date=2018-02-07))</ref>
