TSIPORE BIRMAN (d. in the Bialystok ghetto in 1943)
She was born in Vilna.
After the invasion of Hitler’s armies, she surreptitiously made her way
to Bialystok together with other members of the pioneer group Dror (Freedom),
founded the settlement of Tel-Ḥai
(Mound of life), and began to organize attacks on the Germans. In the Bialystok ghetto, she wrote Di
geshikhte fun dem kibets tel-khai (The history of the Tel-Ḥai kibbutz) and of the wrestling
with ideas with which they were concerned at the time. She also wrote a work entitled Geto-byalistok
(Bialystok ghetto) and other notes that have been preserved in the Jewish
Historical Archive in Warsaw.
