legend of the ghetto fighters: Zionist youth movements and resistance during and after the Holocaust

This article examines the activism of youth during and after the Holocaust in DP camps. The author charts the evolution of the concept of and meaning given to 'resistence' among the Zionist youth movements and the means by which their chosen activism empowered a surviving generation and communicated it to mainstream Jewish public in the early postwar years. He examines the locations, leaders, spirit and geographies of activism that connected the two homelands of the Jewish past and future: Poland and Palestine.
