Abstract:
Based on diaries and memoirs, letters written during the first two years of the war, and the ghetto underground press of the Zionist youth movements, examines attitudes of the movements' leaders towards the Land of Israel. Although the spiritual longing for the Land of Israel remained constant, the diaries and letters express disappointment that so little help was sent from Israel to the besieged and suffering Jews in the ghettos. The articles in the press, on the other hand, were permeated with Zionism and love of Israel, discussed Zionist policy, the future of the Jewish people, and the attitude towards the USSR, but did not contain emotional outcries against the writers' intolerable situation. From 1942 on, there was a distancing from the Land of Israel, a closer bond felt with fellow Jews in the ghettos, and focus on resistance, surviving, or dying with honor. Gives reasons why even after the war the surviving resistance fighters did not publicly air their grievances against the Zionist leadership in Israel.
