Her tale begins 2,700 years ago in Bethulia, an Israelite town surrounded by Assyrian provinces and garrisons. The war-hardened Assyrian General Holofernes lays siege to Bethulia and cuts off its water supply. Holofernes intends to annihilate not only Judith’s hometown but also the entire Jewish people. Just as the Assyrians prepare the final assault before moving on to Jerusalem to destroy the temple, the young and enticing Judith leaves the gates of Bethulia and walks right into the arms of the enemy. |
