"The Living word"

No more willful silences.
No more verbal contact, he who loved to listen to so many will never again hear his own voice among them.

He will sit with his friends over talk from now on under constraint.
The talk. The thoughts. The friends.
And as he listens through the secret door he will turn his inner ear to the dark mumur: Son of man,
all this and all this never was and never will be
as good as one living word.

-Abba Kovner

A secret meeting was held on Dec 31st where many of the youth groups were discussing how they should get weapons, but still not all the people in the meeting wanted to stay and fight with Abba Kovner and the others. Abba Kovner had made a decision of going into the Ghetto with the people that had agreed to stay and help from within. When he was in the Ghetto, he had shouted a speech in an insparational voice and the speech was: "Jewish youth! Do not trust those who are trying to deceive you. Hitler plans to destroy all the Jews of Europe…We will not be led like sheep to the slaughter! True, we are weak and defenseless, but the only reply to the murderer is revolt! Brothers! Better to fall as free fighters than to live by the mercy of the murderers. Arise! Arise with your last breath!"  After that speech Abba made a plan but Gens was against it and had the leader of the FPO arrested but befire he got arrested he made Abba Kovner his successer. After Abba became the leader of the FPO he and hundreds of the ghetto fighters escaped through the city’s sewers and other hidden places to the Rudniky forests where they joined Soviet partisans in many combat missions. There Kovner and his followers operated a partisan division comprised solely of Jews, and performed many heroic acts of sabotage. After the war Kovner made another movement called "The Beriha Movement" which gave the oprotunity to hundreds or even thousands of survivors to reach the west side of Palestin.
