Mosty: biuletyn źródłowych informacji z Palestyny i wszystkich ośrodków żydowskich wydawany przez Haszomer haCair opisywał wszystkie próby dostania sie do Erec Israel statkami Alija Beth.

Alija Bet (hebr. 'עלייה ב) – nielegalna imigracja Żydów do Erec Israel w okresie II wojny światowej i po wojnie Żydów ocalałych od Zagłady, m.in z obozów koncentracyjnych.
Droga z Europy to statkami przez Morze Sródziemne. Wydawana w Łodzi gazeta Mosty opisywała wszystkie próby Ocalałych dostania się do Ziemi Obiecanej, m.in statku ze Szwecji S/S Chaim Arlozorof (S/S Ulua).
Najbardziej znana jest historia statku Exodus 1947. W lipcu 1947 roku brytyjskie okręty wojenne zatrzymały u wybrzeży Palestyny ten statek z 4,5 tys. żydowskimi uchodźcami. Statek został zmuszony do zawrócenia do portu Marsylia we Francji. Następnie popłynął do Hamburga w Niemczech, gdzie policja siłą zmusiła Żydów do opuszczenia statku i umiesciła ich w barakach na terenie byłych obozów koncentracyjnych. Uwaga opinii publicznej świata była przez wiele miesiecy skupiona na dramacie tych Żydów.

Numerous single Jewish children, also infants, came with the UNRRA White Boat Mission to Malmö in July 1945. Most of them came from Bergen-Belsen. They were "adoptable". However, only one child was adopted in Scandinavia. Several to Ireland. The vast majority came in 1946-1948 to Eretz Israel - my heroes! No adoptions among Swedish Jews.
In photos is Dr. Robert (Bob) Collis with the Bergen-Belsen orphans (or UNRRA White Boat Orphans) as he arrives with five of them from Sweden - at Dublin Airport, in 1946. Jewish families were found for three children while Dr, Collis decided to adopt the siblings Zoltan and Edit.

Phases of the Holocaust. One can divide it into three or four phases: Ghettoisation - Holocaust by bullets - Industrial killing - Death Marches.

Phases of the Holocaust. One can divide it into three or four phases.
The pre-phase started in 1933 and included propaganda and the propagation of anti-Jewish laws in Germany. It was the first step of isolation from the rest of the population. At the same time, Germany rebuilds its military which was a violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Nazi government prepares the German public for war.
The first phase begins with the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, the start of World War II. Nazi violence expands in Poland where they start to establish ghettos. The first one, was in Piotrków Trybunalski, just weeks after the German army occupied the city. Thus, together with forced labor was the very first among the physical steps of the Holocaust, the concentration and imprisonment of millions of Polish Jews.
The second phase starts in June 1941 when Germany invades the Soviet Union. It is actually the start of mass killing by Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units) that murdered millions of Jews and other targeted groups in mass shootings. This phase is often called the Holocaust by bullets.
The third phase is Industrial killing. Following the decision from the Wansee meeting in January 1942 to annihilate all of the Jews in Europe. Thereafter, six industrial killing centers - Death camps are established. Millions of Jews and other targeted groups are murdered in gas chambers.
The fourth phase is the Death Marches which starts in January 1945 and continue to the end of WWII in Europe, in May 1945. Relocation of the inmates from the concentration- and death camps started already in 1944 when the Red Army pushed the Germans west. The first death- and concentration camp was liberated on July 22, 1944. When the death- and concentration camps were closing, Nazis forced the prisoners to march from Eastern Europe toward Germany. Hundreds of thousands died along the way.

Dark Lolek and Bright Olek - Janusz Korczak: A Fairy Tale of Life .
They themselves understood that one grandmother meant little, but for all Jews here, it's terrible. There were also various other things and matters, other shops and children in the yard and at school. I'll tell you one more time, because now I'm in a hurry to the second fairy tale, so I'll tell only what is most important. And most importantly, they both became pilots during the war, and they met high in the air during the war and shot at each other. They didn't know who they were shooting at, they were shooting at enemy planes. And they both hit because they shot on target. The planes went down in flames, and they happened to go down while this little girl was going out of town with her father to buy something in the country. “Of course, the girl was big. The planes fell on this Jewish father and on the Jewish woman. And three widows cried: one who was told to be Jewish, the other who was told to be German, and the third one who was also Jewish and mother of a Jewish woman and wife of a Jew. And that's the end of my fairy tale. But their story is not over. I don't know anymore, but they know, because their souls are still there, even though they burnt down. For souls are refractory, and when a man dies, his soul, without airplanes and gasoline, and without iron balls, flies high, higher than airplanes, to heaven. Their souls now know how it is, why it was and is - they are not worried and are happy now. "And they don't need our tears because they know what's coming." And it will be that we will meet again and we will be fine. [...]

Następcy tronu to potomkowie panującego monarchy. W Domu Sierot Janusza Korczaka, Król Dzieci to nie sprawa sukcesji gdzie byle kto pełni funkcje dzięki zagwarantowanej sukcesji tronu. "Pan Misza" - Wasserman Wróblewski opisał dwóch "Króli Dzieci": Felka Grzyba i Szmula Zygmunta Choinę.
Następcy tronu to potomkowie panującego monarchy (np. w Szwecji, Anglii, Norwegii) funkcja często powiązana z nepotyzmem.
W Domu Sierot Janusza Korczaka, Król Dzieci to nie sprawa sukcesji gdzie byle kto pełni funkcje dzięki zagwarantowanej sukcesji tronu.
Pan Misza - Wasserman Wróblewski opisał dwóch Króli Dzieci; Felka Grzyba i Szmula Zygmunta Choinę.
Szmul Zygmunt Choina - były wychowanek i bursista Domu Sierot, związany z ruchem oporu. Zginął zastrzelony na ulicy getta. Korczak wspomina jego pobożność: jako dziecko przez wiele lat modlił się codziennie. Być może to on jest "przyjacielem zakładu", który przewodzi codziennej modlitwie dzieci w getcie.
