Abstract:
In winter 1941-42, when Jews in Poland heard about Nazi massacres, Hashomer Hatzair in Warsaw began to prepare for resistance. Several leaders were sent to branches in other areas, among them Mordechaj Anielewicz, who was sent to the Zaglębie region. His visit in summer 1942 occurred at a time when there were mass deportations from Zaglębie to Auschwitz, and members of the youth movements felt hopeless and depressed. Anielewicz spoke at meetings of all the Zionist movements and encouraged them to resist; he organized a joint resistance movement toward the end of August. During this time his ideology changed from being mainly anti-fascist to being simply pro-Jewish, and this affected his activities. He was considered the leader of the resistance in Zaglębie, but the murder of Warsaw leader Yosef Kaplan forced him to return to that city. After the Warsaw ghetto uprising and Anielewicz's death, there was a debate among the Zionist movements in Zaglębie - some favored resistance, while others concentrated on rescue.
