From 1943 Shmuel gave assistance to refugees from Poland and Slovakia by finding them accommodation and hiding places, obtaining food for them and maintaining contact with them. He also smuggled Jews across the Hungarian border. During this period of time he operated under the name of Klement Zolt\u00e1n.
\nAfter the Germans invaded Hungary on 19.3.1944, he volunteered to the firemen and, wearing the uniform, he was free to walk around the capital. Shmuel distributed forged documents and, in order to do so, he traveled to country towns. He brought some youngsters back with him to Budapest and arranged accommodation for them in his parents\u2019 house and other places.
\nShmuel traveled to forced labor camps carrying forged documents, helped those who wanted to escape arrive in Budapest and gave them accommodation and hiding places.
\nAfter the Arrow Cross came to power on 15.10.1944, he liberated young men from the forced labor units that passed through the capital on their way to the east. Shmuel\u2019s underground activities are mentioned in the following books: \u201cWe are Witnesses\u201d, \u201cIn the Shadow of Death\u201d and \u201cShmulik, the Anonymous\u201d. Samuel operated with Mordehai Ben David distributing food to the bunkers and children\u2019s houses.
\nHe was a member of Kibbutz Nitzanim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2683,"template":"","Underground Members_cat":[62],"class_list":["post-3793","undergroundmembers","type-undergroundmembers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","UndergroundMembers_cat-l"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
