Dignity & Defiance - The Life of the Ghetto: People and Organizations - Dignity & Defiance

Dignity & Defiance - The Life of the Ghetto: People and Organizations - Dignity & Defiance: "Samuel Zygelbojm, Polish Bundist (Jewish Socialist) leader, was, after a career of union activism, one of the twelve public figures the Germans took as hostages when they occupied Warsaw. After his release he represented the Bund on the first Warsaw Judenrat (Jewish Council established by the Nazis). In December 1939, in danger of being arrested, Zygelbojm was sent out of the country by the Bund to report on conditions in German-occupied Poland."
