Avraham was an underground activist. In 1943 he traveled to Kolozsv\u00e1r on a mission for the movement in order to warn the local Jews of what lay in store for them. In Kolozsv\u00e1r he met with Ern\u00f8 Marton, the editor of the Hungarian Jewish newspaper \u201c\u00daj Kelet\u201d, with the town\u2019s chief Rabbi, Weinberger, and with Ari Mendel and other members of the movement. Together they got organized and reached the conclusion that it was impossible to organize armed resistance and that they had to concentrate on rescue operations. From Kolozsv\u00e1r Avraham traveled to D\u00e9s on a similar mission. He returned to Budapest and was enlisted in a forced labor unit where he served until October 1944. From that date he integrated his movement\u2019s underground activities.
\nFrom his hiding place in a bunker in H\u0171v\u00f6sv\u00f6lgy, he delivered Swiss Protection Documents (Schutzpass), while taking part in editing the Underground newsletter, distributed among the Jews of Budapest. The bunker has been discovered, and Avraham was captured, imprisoned and tortured in the military prison on Margit Boulevard, from which he was released in a daring exploit carried out by his comrades in the Underground. After liberation, he initiated the posting of a memorial plaque for the paratrooper Hanna Szenes, on the backyard of the Doh\u00e1ny Street\u00a0 Synagogue.Involved in the field of education, Avraham Karni made aliya in 1946 and lived in a kibbutz.
