Abstract:
Discusses the consolidation of the resistance movement in the Białystok ghetto, from the entry of Nazi troops into the city on June 1941 until the last "Aktion" in August 1943. Describes the difficulties in creating a joint resistance organization due to the ideological and practical divergences between the communists and the Zionist Hashomer Hatzair and Dror. Mentions the contacts with the underground movements in the Vilna and Warsaw ghettos. Focuses on the personality of Mordechai Tenenbaum, the Dror leader, appointed as head of the United Combat Organization in Białystok, and his contacts with Efraim Barasz, the chairman of the Judenrat, who secretly supported the underground. At the end of July 1943, the representatives of all the factions agreed to establish a common front, but they went into action only during the last Nazi "Aktion".
