In 1929 S\u00e1ndor arrived in Antwerpen, Belgium, on his way to South-America as an emigrant. He remained in Antwerpen and made contact with the local workers\u2019 movement. In 1931 he was\u00a0 accepted in the Hungarian section of the communist party in Antwerpen. S\u00e1ndor was arrested, imprisoned for a year and deported to Paris. In 1935 he returned to Belgium, was arrested and sent back to Hungary. Although he was under police surveillance, he was active in the trade unions and a member of the social-democrat party. In 1936 he organized volunteers for the civil war in Spain and operated in the industrial suburbs of the capital.
\nAfter the Germans invaded Hungary on 19.3.1944, S\u00e1ndor served as the liaison between the central committee of the underground communist party and the \u201cHashomer Hatzair\u201d movement. These connections led to cooperation in the supply of forged documents from the \u201cHashomer Hatzair\u201d side, and the finding of shelters for young Jews from the other side. After the liberation in January 1945, S\u00e1ndor held various management positions in the new Hungarian regime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2861,"template":"","Underground Members_cat":[57],"class_list":["post-4507","undergroundmembers","type-undergroundmembers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","UndergroundMembers_cat-f-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
