Tag #148825 - Interview #91312 (Sarah Rutkauskene)

As compared to Jelva Ukrmerge was a bigger town with the population of 12 thousand people, most of whom where Jews. There was a Jewish theatre, different organizations, in general the life became very interesting. The youth took part in different youth Zionist [3] organizations. Beitar was the most active [4]. The organization was rather bellicose and I did not take part in that movement. I entered Hashomer Hatzair [5] – «young guard», which called for buyout of Jewish lands and revive Jewish state in a peaceful way.
