Yitzhak Katznelson and his son Zvi Katznelson
e..Yzhak Katzenelson (Hebrew: ???? ???????‎, Yiddish: (???? ????(?)???????(???; also transcribed Icchak-Lejb Kacenelson, Jizchak Katzenelson; Yitzhok Katznelson) (1 July 1886 – 1 May 1944) was a Jewishteacher, poet and dramatist. He was born in 1886 in Karelichy near Minsk, and was murdered May 1, 1944 in Auschwitz.[1]
Soon after his birth Katzenelson's family moved to ?ód?, Poland, where he grew up. He worked as a teacher, founding a school, and as a dramatist in both Yiddish and Hebrew, starting a theatre group which toured Poland and Lithuania. Following the German invasion of Poland in 1939 he and his family fled to Warsaw, where they got trapped in the Ghetto. There he ran an underground school for Jewish children. His wife and two of his sons were deported to the Treblinka extermination camp and murdered there.
Katzenelson participated in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising starting on April 18, 1943. To save his life, friends supplied him and his surviving son with forged Honduran passports. They managed to leave the ghetto but later surrendered to the Hotel Polski. He was deported to a detention camp in Vittel, France, where the Nazis held American and British citizens and nationals of other Allied and neutral countries, for possible later prisoner exchange.
In Vittel, Katzenelson wrote Dos lid funem oysgehargetn yidishn folk ("Song of the Murdered Jewish People"). He put the manuscript in bottles and buried them under a tree, from where it was recovered after the war. A copy was sewn into the handle of a suitcase and later taken to Israel.
In late April 1944, Itzhak Katzenelson and his son Zvi were sent on a transport to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where they were murdered on May 1, 1944.
The Ghetto Fighters' House Holocaust and Jewish Resistance Heritage Museum in Israel, is named in his memory. "The Song of the Murdered Jewish People" has been translated into numerous languages and published as an individual volume.

Berl Katznelson

‎(25 January 1887 – died 12 August 1944) was one of the intellectual founders of Labor Zionism, instrumental to the establishment of the modern state of Israel, and the editor ofDavar, the first daily newspaper of the workers' movement.

Biography[edit]
Katznelson was born in Babruysk, Russia, the son of a member of Hovevei Zion. He dreamed of settling in the Jewish homeland from an early age. In Russia, he was a librarian in a Hebrew-Yiddish library and taught Hebrew literature and Jewish history. He made aliyah to Ottoman Palestine in 1909, where he worked in agriculture and took an active role in organizing workers' federations based on the idea of "common work, life and aspirations."[1]
Together with his cousin, Yitzhak Tabenkin, Katznelson was one of the founding fathers of the Israeli workers union, the Histadrut.[2] In this capacity, together with Meir Rothberg of the Kinneret Farm,[3] Katznelson founded in 1916 the consumer co-operative known as Hamashbir with the goal of supplying the Jewish communities of Palestine with food at affordable prices during the terrible shortage years of the First World War.[4] He helped to establish the Clalit Health Services sick fund, a major fixture in Israel's network of socialized medicine. In 1925, together with Moshe Beilinson, Katznelson established the Davar daily newspaper, and became its first editor, a position he held until his death, as well as becoming the founder and first editor-in-chief of the Am Oved publishing house.
Katznelson was well known for his desire for peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Jews in Israel. He was an outspoken opponent of the Peel Commission's partition plan for Palestine.[5] He stated:
I do not wish to see the realization of Zionism in the form of the new Polish state with Arabs in the position of the Jews and the Jews in the position of the Poles, the ruling people. For me this would be the complete perversion of the Zionist ideal... Our generation has been witness to the fact that nations aspiring to freedom who threw off the yoke of subjugation rushed to place this yoke on the shoulders of others. Over the generations in which we were persecuted and exiled and slaughtered, we learned not only the pain of exile and subjugation, but also contempt for tyranny. Was that only a case of sour grapes? Are we now nurturing the dream of slaves who wish to reign?[6]
Katznelson also spoke of Jewish self-hatred, saying:
"Is there another People on Earth so emotionally twisted that they consider everything their nation does despicable and hateful, while every murder, rape, robbery committed by their enemies fill their hearts with admiration and awe?"[7]
Katznelson died of an aneurysm in 1944 and was buried at his request in the cemetery on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, next to Sarah Shmukler.[8]
Memories of Katznelson[\
In her biography, Golda Meir remembers Berl Katznelson as a pivotal figure in the life of the Jewish community in Palestine: "Berl was not at all physically impressive. He was small, his hair was always untidy, his clothes always looked rumpled. But his lovely smile lit up his face, and [he] looked right through you, so that no one who ever talked to Berl forgot him. I think of him as I saw him, hundreds of times, buried in a shabby old armchair in one of the two book-lined rooms in which he lived in the heart of old Tel-Aviv, where everyone came to see him and where he worked (because he hated going to an office). 'Berl would like you to stop by' was like a command that no one disobeyed. Not that he held court or ever gave orders, but nothing was done, no decision of any importance to the Labour movement in particular or the yishuv in general, was taken without Berl's opinion being sought first."[9]
Commemoration[edit]
Katznelson is commemorated in many places, in name. Beit Berl near Tzofit, Ohalo (lit. his tent) on Sea of Galilee, and Kibbutz Be'eri (which takes Katznelson's literary name).[10] Many streets throughout Israel are named in his memory. Israeli Postal Service issued a Berl Katzenelson commemorative stamp. [11][12]

RAHEL KATZNELSON

1885 – 1975
by Michal Hagati-Chomsky
A thinker and teacher, Rahel Katznelson was one of the early activists in the Labor Movement and Mo’ezet ha-Po’alot in the Yishuv and Israel.
In a letter to Dr. Yehudit Harari of August 28, 1956, Rahel Katznelson summed up her concurrent public activity in three areas: “Cultural activity among members of the Labor Movement; activity—mainly cultural—among women workers; and literary criticism.”
Katznelson was born in Bobruisk, Russia (now Babruysk, Belarus) on October 25, 1885 (15 Heshvan 5646), the second of the six children of Zelda (née Rozovsky) and Nisan Katznelson. The family was prosperous, modern-religious and educated, earning their income as lumber merchants doing business with the southern region of Russia.
Rahel’s intellectual gifts were evident from childhood. After finishing her studies at the local grammar school at the age of twelve, she was sent to study at the gymnasia for girls in Kremenchuk in the Ukraine, where she spent six years. She absorbed culture and Russian literature to the point where she became “drunk on assimilation,” as she described it. In 1903 she graduated with honors, returning home with a gold medal which enabled her to open the doors of any university in Russia, despite being Jewish.
The reunion with her family and with her Jewish environment, coupled with the pogroms against the Jews of Kishinev that same year, led to an awakening and a decision to become acquainted with her own people’s culture before continuing her academic studies. She remained in Bobruisk for four years, studying Hebrew and Bible and becoming acquainted with the new Hebrew literature and with Yiddish popular literature. She joined the Zionist-Socialist Workers’ Movement in her city, taught Jewish women workers who had not received an education, taught Hebrew literacy to youth groups and wrote an essay in Russian on the poetry of Hayyim Nahman Bialik (1873–1934).
She spent 1908 in Berlin, where she attended lectures at the seminary for Jewish studies, learned German and became acquainted with music, art and classic Western literature.
At the end of the year, she returned to Russia and registered to study Russian literature and history at the women’s university in St. Petersburg. At the same time, she registered for Jewish history at the Academy of Jewish Studies founded in the city that year. There she met a fellow student, Shneur Zalman Rubashov (1889–1974, later her husband, Zalman Shazar, third president of Israel), with whom she developed a relationship.
Her academic success strengthened her belief that she was meant to be a writer and literary critic. In St. Petersburg she had the opportunity to study both classical Russian literature and modern Hebrew literature in depth. Comparing the richness of Russian culture in the city with the feeble attempts to create a modern Hebrew culture there, she sadly wrote in her diary: “Have we no more than this?” On the other hand, she realized that as a Jewish woman she would never be able to put her achievements to use as an equal participant in the Russian artistic world. Hence her place was with her own people’s culture, though she felt that it was impossible to create true non-religious Jewish art in the Diaspora.
Once she had reached this conclusion, she saw no point in continuing her studies. In addition, health problems and a (temporary) crisis in her relationship with Zalman Rubashov caused her to interrupt her studies and leave St. Petersburg in 1911. She searched for a place where she could find meaning in life and create freely. Her two close friends, Zalman Rubashov, who had returned from a trip to Palestine, and Berl Katznelson (1887–1944; not a relative), who had emigrated there the year before, tried to persuade her to move there as well. She recalls that as far as she was concerned, the deciding factor was a literary one—a story written by the Erez Israel author Joseph Hayyim Brenner (1881–1921), “From Here and There” (1911). This story, which describes the emotional and material struggles of the pioneer in Erez Israel and Brenner’s own inner conflicts, aroused feelings of personal identification in Katznelson. She felt that this was the place where she herself would find an appropriate atmosphere. She reached the coast of Jaffa on November 7, 1912.
On November 7, 1913, after a difficult year of acclimation and searching, she was engaged to teach Hebrew and history at the women’s agricultural farm at Kinneret founded by Hannah Maisel-Shohat. There she forged ties with the group of worker pioneers, members of the Second Aliyah (1904–1914) whom she saw as “the elect.” In 1918, she wrote of them in her diary: “My realization that we are living the most cultural and complicated lives […] is correct.” In order to be one of the elect she felt that she must also engage in physical labor. Thus, from the end of 1914 to 1919, she worked as a laborer at Tel Adashim and at Kevuzat Kinneret, in Jerusalem and atMikveh Israel.
At the second women workers’ conference, held at Kinneret in 1915, she was elected to the workers’ committee. In the same year she was also elected to the Galilee Workers’ Cultural Committee, where she and her colleagues taught workers on Sabbaths and in the evenings after work. In 1919 Katznelson was active in founding the Zionist Socialist Labor Party (Ahdut ha-Avodah) and was elected to serve full-time on its cultural committee. She left her job at Mikveh Israel and began to occupy herself with the cultural needs of workers throughout the country, providing mobile libraries, classes and lectures for adults and educational frameworks for children.
Though Rahel Katznelson did not distinguish herself in field labor or kitchen work, she was one of the few women of the Second Aliyah whose male colleagues were willing to listen to and learn from, despite their dismissive attitude toward other women colleagues. Such treatment infuriated her, and she felt obligated to do all she could to change it. In 1914 she participated in the founding convention of the women workers’ movement at Merhavyah, remaining active in it from then on and becoming one of its major leaders.
When World War I broke out in 1914, Zalman Rubashov, who was studying at a German university, was arrested in Berlin as an enemy alien, due to his Russian nationality, and forbidden to leave the city until the end of the war. He reached Palestine in 1920 and resumed his relationship with Rahel Katznelson. They were married on April 19, 1920 (Rosh Hodesh Iyyar 5680) in Jerusalem. In the same year he was elected to the central committee of Po’alei Zion in Vienna, where the couple spent the next four years and where their only daughter, Rhoda, was born on February 14, 1921. Rhoda suffered from Down Syndrome and her parents’ concern for her growth and education occupied them all their lives.
In 1924 they returned to Palestine and settled in Tel Aviv. Zalman Rubashov served on the editorial board of the workers’ newspaper, Davar (founded 1925), while Rahel joined the Histadrut’s cultural committee, where she helped develop its educational network, Hebrew-language studies for immigrants and a central library.
In 1928 she began to work at the Mo’ezet ha-Po’alot (Council of Women Workers), where she sought to implement her ideas on promoting working women’s participation in the community life then taking shape in the country. The first pre-requisite for this was, in her opinion, education for women and encouragement of their self-expression. Mo’ezet ha-Po’alot accepted her proposal to publish a book about the life of the working woman, putting her in charge of the project. The collection Divrei Po’alot, edited by Katznelson, appeared in 1930. In it, fifty-seven women of the Second and Third Aliyah (1919–1923) wrote about their lives, creating a work which in the course of about twenty years became an educational-historical document providing the first authentic expression of working women’s lives in pre-state Israel. Translated into four languages—Yiddish, German, Bulgarian and English (as The Plough Woman, 1932, translated by Maurice Samuel)—the book served as educational material in pre-state Israel and the Diaspora. In the same year, Rahel Katznelson joined the secretariat of the Mo’ezet ha-Po’alot.
Following the success of Divrei Po’alot, Rahel Katznelson initiated a regular publication that would reflect the lives of working women and serve them as a platform for self-expression. The women’s monthly Devar ha-Po’elet first appeared in March 1934, with Katznelson as editor, and continued its monthly appearance (from 1976 under the name Na’amat) until the 1990s.
In 1964 Rahel Katznelson described the mission of Devar ha-Po’elet thus: “It is the Jewish woman’s first regular Hebrew platform: to live as workers, mothers, defenders and settlers of the land and draw from them, through listening and love, the faithful expression of many and the creativity of individuals.” This was not a “women’s newspaper” in the conventional sense. The editor and her colleagues on the board were careful to maintain a high level in the material and a variety of subjects, inter alia: women in Palestine and the world, current affairs, literature, culture and art. While the writers were mostly women, the articles were intended for the general public. This created an opening for the recognition, understanding and appreciation of women’s role in society.
Rahel Katznelson did not content herself with the written word. In addition to editing Devar ha-Po’elet, she organized classes and ideological seminars for women, participating in them as teacher and lecturer. It was important for her that women meet not only about practical matters, but also to study and expand their horizons.
She also participated in ideological seminars in the Diaspora: in 1938 she served as a lecturer and board member in a seminar for the Halutz youth movement in Warsaw and after the war, in 1947, she organized a seminar for young Holocaust survivors in Münchberg, Germany.
In addition to her work in the cultural sphere, she was also asked to fill a number of public positions: in 1933 she was active on behalf of Mo’ezet ha-Po’alot in its counterpart in America and Canada, the Pioneer Women. She represented Israel at international conferences for socialist women, was a Histadrut delegate to the Zionist Congress, was elected to the Executive Committee of the World Zionist Organization, was a member of the Histadrut’s Workers’ Executive Committee, and a member of the central committee of Mapai. In the summer of 1947 she appeared together with Rebecca Sieff before the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP), on behalf of the country’s Jewish women. In 1958 she was awarded the Israel Prize for her social and cultural activities on behalf of women.
For more than twenty-five consecutive years Rahel Katznelson edited Devar ha-Po’elet, where she published many of her literary articles. But throughout her life in Israel, she published only four profound, wide-ranging literary essays, some of which serve researchers to this day. She wrote to Dr. Yehudit Harari on the process of writing those essays: “From time to time, I would discover an author with whom I felt a close affinity and would concentrate on him. … In every period, there was one Hebrew author who served me as a kind of spiritual center. … Those essays were a kind of research and required conditions that only rarely prevailed. The demands of work and family left me little time for that kind of writing.”
Her first Hebrew essay, “Nedudei Lashon” (Wanderings of Language), was published in 1918 in the collectionBa-Avodah (At Work). In response, Berl Katznelson wrote to her: “This is the beginning of the living essay in our literature.” She published three more essays: on Uri Nissan-Gnessin (1879–1913) (1927), Micha-Josef Berdyczewski (1865–1921) (1941), and Joseph Hayyim Brenner (1942). In 1946 she published her collected works in Essays and Articles, which was awarded that year’s Brenner Prize. An expanded edition of this book,Al Admat ha-Ivrit (On Hebrew Soil), was published in 1966. Im Pa’amei ha-Dor (In the Steps of the Generation), a two-volume anthology which she edited on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Devar ha-Po’elet, appeared in 1964. Two additional books were published posthumously: Adam Kemo she-Hu (The Person as She Was, 1989), her personal diaries from 1907 to 1972, and Ha-Hofim ha-Shenayim (The Two Shores, 1999), an exchange of correspondence between herself and Zalman Rubashov-Shazar from 1909 to 1963.
On May 22, 1963, Zalman Shazar was elected third president of the State of Israel. Rahel, now seventy-eight years of age, had new tasks to fulfill, which she did honorably until 1972, when she fell ill and underwent surgery. She never returned to full health or to her home, dying on August 11, 1975 (4 Elul 5735).
Rahel Katznelson came to Erez Israel out of a personal desire for a life of meaningful Jewish creativity. While her education and abilities could have won her entry into the country’s intelligentsia, she chose to join the pioneers of the Second Aliyah, whom she viewed as the true proponents of the Jewish social and cultural “revolution.” She contributed greatly to the country’s emerging cultural life, laying stress on women’s participation within it.

Katznelson was arrested by the Bolsheviks for several months, and was to be executed, after escaping his family, including brother's widow and five children Samuel, beyond the borders of Russia. Once liberated from prison, moved Katznelson Poland and from there to Vienna , where he absorbed the best of European culture, studied history and philosophy at the University of Vienna . Vienna, graduated from the School of Commerce and the national economy was at a crossroads, when available a few months, it decided to take a visit there in the land of Israel .
Immigrating to Israel and joined the Revisionists [ edit source | edit ]
Katznelson was not born grades. In his youth, in his twenties, after the Soviet revolution, not his perceived to Zionism . Pioneering Zionist kibbutz, thisoccupation work , or spiritual Zionism of Ahad Ha'am , or practical Zionism of the left-wing parties, not fired the imagination. Katznelson not particularly excited about the fact that Jews are becoming farmers, because in his eyes it should not be the target response, Israel has to return to Israel, despite the great effort required to do so.
For a long time did not consider himself a Zionist Katznelson. He immigrated to Israel following the relatives who were active Zionists, and here in the country continued to view itself as a non-Zionist. Initially believed that Zionism is nothing but the movement of lobbying and socialism , which aroused his soul rejection. Once he became aware of the existence of another Zionism, immediately began to see himself as a Zionist. Katznelson was assigned to work with " Solel Boneh "and there was up to management and working methods failed. He was convinced that the Jewish economy, as it is conducted by the party leaders, workers can not develop and absorb mass.
Two things tied Katznelson with the land and Zionism: Fourth Aliya Zionism and revolutionary, starting with the Jewish Legion and Nili , and indeed Katznelson immigrated to Israel skylight - January 1925 . When he Katznelson Israel, believed that it costs, which means it does not come to settle, but to spy out the land.
Situation in the country has made it the most severe opponent of Zionism accepted. Katznelson's anger official Zionism man, when he thought she was thwarting the rise in fourth. riots Riots (1929) caused the anger of official Zionism Katznelson prevail, that thought is not doing enough for the Protection of the Jewish community without protection.
When Ze'ev Jabotinsky introduced his doctrine: The Hebrew revival, spread out before Zionism Katznelson other revolutionary political Zionism, which the national revival - with Israeli Statehood. Katznelson eyes first task was to rise up against the British, because they are the obstacle to the independence and sovereignty, and the road is not taken into account and Bgzirotihm their laws, and in violation to the extent feasible. The beginning of the rebellion does not have to be expressed in an armed rebellion but a mass protest, demonstrations, followed by armed clashes come with police and security forces, and at last break out of the underground armed rebellion. Katznelson believed that life is foreign occupation, the British will become unbearable. Aba Ahime'ir contributed to the formulation of this theory in the early thirties together with Katznelson, where only power and the willingness to sacrifice, liberated the country from the British, and that the economy must be free.
Katznelson came to national Revisionist movement led by Ze'ev Jabotinsky , and after the events of the riots joined its ranks - the " Revisionist ".Katznelson helped organize elections, is the focus of preparations but never presented himself as a realistic candidate. He was ready to engage in any election-related craft, if the organization of the list, if the invention of money, but all those behind the scenes. Katznelson was the premier negotiations on the train list and propaganda organization. Revisionist way was through the "Revisionist workers organization" and Betar . Revisionist very outset, it has played key roles Katznelson Commander Beitar Jerusalem, a member of the center axis of movement and the global Looaidth inVienna in 1932 , and while What served as the chairman of the New Zionist Organization in the country.
Maximalist national traffic flow was formulated by Aba Ahime'ir , Uri Zvi Greenberg and Katznelson. Maximalist called that because they demanded a Jewish state now. Katznelson and youth organized Betar , and turned it into a more disciplined, more war and more important factor. Was to let the Betar youth group kind, and is formulated and gave her fighting spirit. both partners view of Aba Ahime'ir , by way of the Zionist revolution, Katznelson and Jacob Ornstein, increased the activist-rebellious tendency, according to the Bolshevist version. Katznelson was the Communist revolution in high esteem and admiration for the force and scope. Beitar Jerusalem commander, was one of the most important thinkers of the Soviet thugs , trustees States only knew that he was the main contributor to carry out their activities. extensive activities in all institutions of the Revisionist party is not satisfied him, because he believed that the movement of liberation can not be motion possession - He rejected the communism and the Socialismand referred to the imaginary achievements. personnel Katznelson Soviet thugs saw the man who can only act to head, when it moves real underground demonstrations.
In the previous period to the murder of Arlosoroff in 1933 relations between the Zionist left parties of the " Revisionist "tense. following the murder, there were many who thought that the revisionists, or some of their friends, plotted the murder and Vicohu. Ahime'ir, Stavsky and Rosenblatt were charged with murder and stood trial before a Mandatory law. those days established by the Public Committee headed by Rav Kook . Katznelson was motivated Rabbi Nathan Miliicovsky, turn to Rabbi Kook and unravel the plot. rabbi agreed to take the lead until he enlisted safeguards for defendants, and thereby breached the way to the introduction of Rabbi Kook campaign of public law. After the murder of Arlosoroff prohibited Katznelson member of the Soviet thugs , remember and released for lack of evidence.
Katznelson was the fiercest opponents of the policy of restraint in Trtz"o-Atartz events and contributed greatly to the establishment of the Irgun(National Military Organization) in 1931 ., he organized the young people, spoke to them and gave them practical functions, and thus shaped the National Youth Warrior infrastructure. means the individual who created it Ex Beitar location of the Irgun . Katznelson see the Irgun underground army, which he dreamed all day, and it affected the Irgun command to respond to the Arab riots of the settlement, when the Zionist institutions responded with restraint. elevation see action to save Israel's honor and dignity especially of Israeli youth. British police searched for Katznelson result of actions of the Irgun, and he went into hiding for several months. In 1938 , when he was nearly caught by the police, he decided it was dangerous to remain in the country Katznelson and decided to flee to Europe. He moved to the port of Haifa on a ship bound for Europe, where he became addicted to his life last - illegal immigration .
Katznelson and illegal immigration it ]
When he came to Europe in the summer of Katznelson 1938 , entrusted him the Jabotinsky movement immigration and illegal immigration , organized by it. Just as the country worked with enthusiasm and momentum to raise the Irgun on the war path, the Diaspora raised the main route of illegal immigration in realizing national destiny. official institutions in the Revisionist movement , see political action, negotiations with governments, Zionist activity more important than responding from illegal immigration , but Katznelson Zionism believed the military, revolutionary Zionism. Katznelson decided to organize a mass immigration of Jews to Israel in Israel, at illegal ways., he believed that only in this way will it be possible to create a powerful Jewish community real. Katznelson saw the rise of mass illegal immigration the most important thing in his life . he set the center of action inWarsaw , which was the largest Jewish community in Eastern Europe. Katznelson argued that the settlement in the country is left-handed, because the government mandate handed to left key immigration and it is believed that force revisionist take the key immigration from them, and that persuasion ideology will not convince the community. Katznelson argued that the increase to Israel, Israel must be the taxi, which should remove as many Jews as possible, led by young people. believed vigor Jews should move to Europe to Israel, and Israel will change the rise in the nature of community and character. Katznelson became involved in the organization and concentration of the rise even though , at the beginning of 1939 , is an increase in 'Revisionist movement. Goal before his eyes was a bulk upload Israeli Jews to Israel and the fulfillment of the evacuation plan Ze'ev Jabotinsky .
Katznelson spent this last plant life his energy, his talent for organization, his personal integrity and above all - his enthusiasm and faith. This complex activity, which required different qualities and talents, Katznelson revealed aggressive leader. It is believed that his actions will succeed thanks to a substantial part of Jewish youth from Poland to Israel in Israel, and that Betar which the Palestinians will be released offices of the agency and certificates. thus found the key to the rise of the Revisionists and the Mandatory government and the agency . Katznelson believed that illegal immigration will change the face of the Yishuv in Israel . illegal immigrants who went through the agony and anguish of exile in Poland, immigration, youth will be different localities under the control of the agency , and want a change. thus will not only rescue the immigrants, but they will be extra liberation of Israel from the British.
Menachem Begin said:

Despite calls for the selection, and in the pogrom constant, we began to bring Jews. This plant was placed at the head of Joseph Katznelson. Our commander Joseph Katznelson was the main factory mountaineering . We called immigration Knight ..

[1]
Katznelson, who had assumed the central role in the illegal immigration operation and procurement of ships to transport thousands of illegal immigrants, believed that the government will mandate helpless against illegal immigration , and the English did not dare to drown the illegal immigrant ship, fearing the anger of the Jews in the Diaspora. Katznelson task held the funds and negotiating high-level captains and smugglers, and that was running trains and planes across Europe. Duties included supervision of the financial transactions associated with illegal immigration , which was the language of the immigration legal. He coordinated and managed all contacts with government agencies and private companies. Katznelson and his friends went to make the first plan of raising a fleet immigrants, at least five ships. Three of these Jews were not political, and at two - Betar, the Polish government gave them weapons unofficially.
To realize illegal immigration, Joseph Katznelson passed his last months, the length and breadth of Europe, from Warsaw to London and fromAmsterdam to Athens , and the year before his death he said:

Here I passed the age of forty. These were the years of study, and more when I learned in school, I learned that life market.Indeed, the age of forty is quite considerable age. But not yet too late. Brother probably sixty years. More than that I do not want. I do not want to be old. Well, I have about twenty years. You can catch a lot, especially in our time, when day per year will be considered ..
