Under the brutal conditions of the Dachau-Kaufering concentration
camp, a handful of young Jews resolved to resist their Nazi
oppressors. Their weapons were their words. Beginning with the
Soviet occuption of Kovno, the members of Irgun Brith Zion
circulated an underground journal, ""Nitzotz"" (""Spark""), in
which they debated Zionist politics and laid plans for postwar
settlment in Palestine. When the Kovno ghetto was destroyed,
several contributors to ""Nitzotz"" were deported to the camps of
Dachau. Against all odds, they did not lay down their pens.
""Nitzotz"" is the only known Hebrew-language publication to have
appeared consistently throughout the Nazi occupation anywhere in
Europe. Its authors believed that their intellectual defiance would
insulate them against the dehumanizing cruelty of the concentration
camp and equip them to lead the postwar effort for the physical and
spiritual regeneration of European Jewry. Laura Weinrib presents
this remarkable document to English readers for the first time.
Along with a translation of the five remaining Dachau-Kaufering
issues, the book includes an extensive critical introduction.
""Nitzotz"" is a testament to the resilience of those struggling
for survival.
