Abstract:
The conference at Nové Mesto was convened at the turn of the New Year 1944. Participating were 23 members of Hashomer Hatzair from Slovakia, the Protectorate, Poland, and Hungary. The conference took place under the patronage of Rabbi Armin Frieder, a Zionist leader and member of the Working Group in Slovakia. The representatives reported on the fate of the Jews in each country, the situation in the movement, and ways of resistance and rescue. Chajka Klinger told of the extermination of Polish Jews, the Warsaw ghetto uprising, and the attempt at armed struggle in Zagłębie. Efraim Neuman reported on the movement in the Protectorate and its resistance to the deportation of Jews to Theresienstadt. Yaakov Rosenberg (Benito) reported on rescue activities in Slovakia, including attempts to contact the communist underground in order to join the partisans. The idea of Jewish self-defense on the Polish model did not appeal to the participants, whereas joining the partisans did. In the end, it was decided to act simultaneously on all fronts: to continue the movement's activities, to gather members in the mountains and make contact with Slovakian partisan units, to provide aid for members in Hungary, and to try to find ways to reach Palestine.
