Aharon (dolek) Liebeskind by Anageli Rivera Suarez https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir A jew living his life during the holocaust en-us 2022-04-01 12:37:50 UTC 2025-11-16 02:37:20 UTC hello@padlet.com Quote from a fellow member of the Akiva resistance group. 27riveraa2 https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347986 It is not easy to describe all the obstacles that had to be overcome in order to organize a Jewish resistance under Nazi occupation. Our work was a hundred times more difficult than the work of any other resistance group, because we had to conceal not only our underground activity but also, and even more urgently, our Jewish identities. Hence it may be said that the first thing the leaders had to do was to deny even to themselves the impossibility of the task before them, and to act in spite of the overwhelmingly unfavorable odds.]]> 2022-04-01 12:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347986 The Impact 27riveraa2 https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347989 Dolek showed the world that we need to stand up for ourselves and our rights. Even in the groups hardest times  dolek never gave up or left them behind. He showed that we have a voice and we need to use it. ]]> 2022-04-01 12:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347989 His Death 27riveraa2 https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347990 Suspicions had been strong that the Akiva resistance group even existed and that Aharon was running it. On the night of november 25 1942 Aharons wife Rivka had just came home from searching for a safe house. Aharon told her that she shouldn't sleep at home (his parents house) tonight because it wasn't safe. She refused to leave him so they both slept at Aharons parents house. That night German police raided the house taking Rivka because they could not find Aharon. The Germans told Aharon that Rivka was being held by them and would be set free if he turned himself in. Aharon not falling for their lies pulled out a handgun he had and threatened to shoot them, the officers who were armed with only golf clubs ran, Aharon then jumped the wall of the ghetto. Rivka had a number of questions asked about Aharon, none of which she answered. When she found out that aharon had been able to escape she confused the interrogators by acting crazy and saying insane things. On December 24, 1942, Aharon was caught by Germans in the headquarters bunker of He-Halutz ha-Lohem and they killed him in a fist fight. ]]> 2022-04-01 12:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347990 27riveraa2 https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347991 younger aharon]]> 2022-04-01 12:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347991 27riveraa2 https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347993 Aharon, his sister (right), and his wife (left)]]> 2022-04-01 12:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347993 27riveraa2 https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2125347995 Aharon joined the Akiva group when he was fourteen years old.

Of course not all made it, and that's the hard part about being in a resistance group, not all are going to make it and there will be risks. Although a lot didn't make it a good amount did. ]]> 2022-04-04 12:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/27riveraa2/nuokwi98npz4qir/wish/2128527951
