Alexander\u2019s family moved to Miskolc. Alexander joined the \u201cKadima\u201d movement and in 1925, with some friends, he founded the \u201cBlau-Weiss\u201d movement that in 1927 merged with \u201cHashomer Hatzair\u201d. He was among the first members of the movement in Hungary.<\/p>\n
Alexander founded a family and had a child. In 1944, with the establishment of the ghetto in Miskolc, he moved to Budapest with the help of a friend who was a police officer. Alexander was sent on a tiyul, caught and incarcerated in various prisons. At the end of September of the same year he was released and arrived at the \u201cGlass House\u201d on Vad\u00e1sz Street and later at a branch of the Swiss consulate on Wekerle S\u00e1ndor Boulevard.<\/p>\n
S\u00e1ndor was one of the main activists in the underground. His organizing and working skills were extraordinary. In fact he was the manager of the \u201cGlass House\u201d and the representative of the youth movements in the management. When the argument arose about whether to absorb more Jews into the \u201cGlass House\u201d as they might endanger the lives of those already living there, he said: \u201cFor the sake of one hundred thousand Jews it is worth to endanger our own lives\u201d.<\/p>\n
S\u00e1ndor\u2019s wife, child and other relatives were deported to Auschwitz where they perished.<\/p>\n

After the liberation, in January 1945, S\u00e1ndor was the secretary of the Joint in Budapest, a member of the board of the Hungarian Zionist Association and of the \u201cEretz-Israel\u201d office.<\/p>\n
