The Zionist Organization consisted of three major factions—the General Zionists, Revisionists, and Mizrachi. With the exception of the periods pre-cceding elections to the Zionist Congress, the three factions lived in complete harmony.

However, a short time later, Heinz did succeed in creating a non-party-affiliated popular library, with a rich catalog of Hebrew, Yiddish, Polish, and German books. The popular library was established when Heinz placed at the disposal of the na-tional Jewish parties the huge sum of 5,000 kroner (an enormous contribution at that time).

The boys who were trained by the PPR were left to their own devices by the Polish guide of the PPR as soon as they reached the forest. The anti- cipated contact with the partisan group failed to materialize. They were wandering around the forest unable to perceive the truth that they had indeed been deceived. Their supplies dwindled, and they did not know whether to return to the city or re- main in the forest.

In other villages which had been under German control and taken over by the Partisans there was also a flour mill which was operated by Jewish grinders from our family camp. They ground the wheat to flour for the local farmers and for all the Partisan units in the whole area. Until we captured the mill we had ground the wheat to flour with stones which we turned by hand, one stone above the other, and it was hard work needing time and strength.
