There are perhaps, several les

SOMEWHERE IN GERMANY
One of the most astounding
discoveries to be made in the
last days of the war in Germany
was the existence of a tiny re-
sistance group composed of Jew
ish children. Most of these child
rem. orphans, are boys and girls
of between 10 and Is years Of
age. Absolute secrecy was a mat
ter of life and death for men,
bers and helpers.
These young underground
fighters are called by themselves
and those who know about their
existence, the "Taucher," mean
ing divers. This entire account
is based on written reports,
which / was shown by different
persons in Germany. If I hadn't
seen such reports and hadn't
been assured by serious persons
about their truth, I'd never have
believed the story.
This is how the Divers came
into existence, on February 20,
1943. At seven o'clock in the
morning all Jews still legally
living inside the Reich were ar
rested by the SIS, taken to
gathering centers and from there
shipped east. A few thousand
young Jewish boys and girls,
mere children, decided that they
were lost unless they fought for
their lives. BY various means
they escaped-disappeared en-
tirely from the surface. After
some time, they began to organ
ize and look for weapons.
CHAIN OF HAZARDS
Life for the Divers was a con-
slant chain of dangers. They
knew what became of those who
had been deported eastward
since July 1943. They received a
report of a 17-year-old girl from
the poison gas camp at Birkenau.

Among the dangers for the
Divers were Allied air raids
When hidden for the night by
some kind German, they could.
Mt, of course, go to the air raid
shelters, w h i c h would have

their hosts. They had to take
their chances, staying in the
buildings, often buried among
the ruins and buried alive.
Another report: I'VE can meet

great. OF our group of 10 only

otherwise we are lost"
One Berlin boy, who later was
arrested and gassed, sent his
teacher, who continued clandes-
tine lessons, the following letter:

and am eternally grateful for
your suggestion that / continue

certain program to be finished
until my next birthday, but this
can only be done if you agree TO
give me one more weekly priv
ate lesson" Four weeks later
the boy was arrested and was
dead long before his next birth
day.
Only by exchanging intelli-
gence constantly could the Div
ers avoid vest dangers.
Particularly dangerous was the
problem of getting food. The
children had to visit the mar
kets, linger about and beg for
food in restaurant kitchens-in
short, they had to 60 to places
where they could easily be pick
ed up. Later, when the Divers
found helpers among the Ger
mans, this changed for the bet
ter.

In many cases escapes were
possible even after arrest, as
happened in the case of a 16-
year-old girl staying alone in

Berlin, after the deportation Of
her parents. She was arrested by
the SIS. The girl fought, but was
