Dear Group

I'm interested to know the names of any Zionist organisations which existed in the Free City of Danzig in the 1930s. My father was a member of a Zionist organisation during the time he lived in Danzig from 1933 to 1938.

Best wishes,

Hi,

My grandmother who was living in Danzig from ~1921 was a member of Ha-Bonim (the builders) that was a Zionist youth organization.

She went with them to camps to learn new skills.

I found the following that might assist you:

Hi My father was a member of BETAR in Danzig. Around 1934/5 it was attacked by the Nazi's and he was thrown out of the window. He managed to get out to England in 1936 but it left him with a weak heart.
