Exhibition- Holocaust Remembrance Day- Zivia Lubetkin
Zivia Lubetkin was born in eastern Poland in 1914, and from a young age was a member of the ‘Dror’ Zionist Youth Movement. At the beginning of War World II, by the age of 25, Zivia decided to come to Warsaw to take part in the resistance movements. She became one of the leaders of the Jewish Underground Movement in Poland, and one of the leading members of the ‘Jewish Fighting Organization’ (Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa, ZOB) in Warsaw. After the war, Lubetkin was an activist in ‘Beriha’; an organization that helped European Jews "illegally" immigrate to Palestine. She made ‘Aliya’ to Israel in 1946, where she helped establish the kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta'ot and its museum.
