Many poems and articles for the wall newspaper were writ- ten by her. In her own uiet way she carried out anything she had been charged with. Iler comrades knew she could always be relied upon. Lilka's life was not an easy one. She encountered opposition at home to her adherence to the , movement and at school pressure was brought to bear upon her to give up that work. Nevertheless, she was never hard to complain, and if any person tried to shake her from her movement allegiance the little girl would say, "Nobody has any right to interfere with anything I do in connection with Palestine." She was both serious and po- litically very active, and her no- bility of soul endeared her to all her comrades. She was also possessed of great personal courage. On one occasion 40 boys and girls were marching to Warsaw carrying their banner. On the way, at the Krebedzia Polish hooligans attacked the group and beat up many of the children, taking away the ban- ner. In spite of the beating, Lilka remained behind alone, re- fusing to give way, and wrested the banner back from the hooli- gan youths, then quickly run- ning across the bridge. She did not complain of the blows she had sustained so *as not to worry her friends, but the following day she had to stay in bed and that was the first time she failed to attend the nightly meeting of the group. She served as an example to other girls in every kind of work: Distributing the party pa- per, "Das Neie Wort"; raising money for the National Fund." at rallies; in the chorus, etc. In 1936 after she had attended a summer camp she was elected a member of the branch commit- tee. Her very first proposal was that "any member being late for meetings should be fined and the money was to go to the Keren Kayemeth." She herself col- lected the money. Her second proposal was that "members who themselves attended school should each others, namely working members in the evening," and she herself set the example. She carried on a correspondence with her comrades who had gone to Palestine and was most eager to go there too. She wished to complete her training at some agriculural training school in Palestine—but it was not to be! At the outbreak of war she remained in Warsaw and was ac- tive in the underground move- ment. She became a member of the "Dror"—Fighting group and undertook the most dangerous task of all, that of liaison be- tween Headquarters and the dif- ferent units, in the execution of which task she gave up her life. Her brother, Naphthali, a member of the same Fighting- Unit, is also one of those who fell fighting in the Warsaw Ghetto.
