German occupation

Before the war, Maks Glazermann, a Jewish engineer from Lwów owned an estate in Dłużniów. During the German occupation he was initially left to run the property. In the summer of 1941, Julek (Joel/Jakób) Brandt, a leader of the Zionist youth movement Betar from Chorzów arranged for several hundred members of the Betar youth movement in the Warsaw Ghetto to work on farms and estates in the area, including Glazermann's in Dłużniów. Among them was Hanka Tauber, a young woman from Warsaw. Her account of what went on in Dłużniów was recorded in the diary of Abraham Lewin. Tauber returned to Warsaw, but most of the Betar youth who remained were killed in the spring of 1942.[2]

gollark: Its error handling is also a model of poor design in the interest of alleged "simplicity".
gollark: I mean, it has `nil`, for [REDACTED]'s sake.
gollark: Also, Go ignores basically all recent language design advancements! It's effectively just Rob Pike's plagiarized ALGOL with shinier new features and stuff and somehow everyone used it?
gollark: Also channels aren't actually a great synchronization primitive.
