About Bela
Hazan
Name of Museum
Bela Hazan was born in December 1922. She lived in a
town called Rozyszcze and had 7 siblings. Her father’s
name is David. Because of her mother, Bela and her
siblings were sent to the Tarbut network. Bela’s
household language was to speak in Hebrew. She was
later sent to the city of Kowel to a CRT “vocational
school”. Near the Warsaw concentration camp, in 1939
during summer, Bela helped the Rozyszcze resistance
group in their movement that was taking place at the
time.

Transportations
Insert Artifact

At one point during World War II, Bela Hazan decided to go
off to Germany. Once she got to her destination on German
territory, it happened. Bela was transported with other
Jewish citizens on a train that was highly overcrowded.
Moreover, she was soon shortly forced to attend an all
female concentration camp sited in Ravensbrück. However,
Bela was immediately taken to a different concentration
camp in close proximity to the docks of Lubeck city to the
camp Malchov. Nevertheless, the twist was that Bela was
assigned the occupation of the head nurse in Malchov
camp.

Jewish Resistance
Insert Artifact

“Organized armed resistance was the most forceful form of Jewish
opposition to Nazi policies in German-occupied Europe.” Ghettos are
commonly found in Poland and in the Soviet Union. In the Soviet
Union and in Poland, the ghettos were in a part of a city that’s dirty,
an overcrowded street , usually for the poor, and an area that people
would try to avoid living in. The Jews were forcibly sent to live there
and to leave there home and were required them to live among
strangers. Armed forces were essentially just Jewish society that
were showing resistance and were fighting to the Nazis, guards, and
people that were racially prejudiced and that find objectionable things
of Jews. In addition, the Jewish humanity were prepared to fight the
anit-Jewish population and refused to go to a camp without a fight
(just like Bela Hazan).

Combat Instructor
Insert Artifact

During the time of World War Two, located in Bedzin, Bela
Hazan joined a resistance training group Callekibbutz
Hakhsharahin. Afterward, Bela then became the combat
instructor in the resistance group. A combat instructor in a
resistance group was a person who was responsible to
enforce and command orders, manage and control others
in the group. Also, the combat instructors were the ones in
charge to make plans for what the resistance group would
do next. Furthermore, combat instructors were as well the
ones that would be accountable to have to train and be
sure that others in the group were prepared for anything
coming to them.

Death March
Insert Artifact
Picture Here
Death Marches are where prisoners of war (POW)
were forced to march from the current camp towards
Germany and as they went, if they could no longer
continue they would die as they fell. Bela Hazan
unfortunately was forced to walk the death march
that lasted a total of four days in the beginning of
1945, which who’s path was the major camp of
Auschwitz towards Germany. Unlike countless of
several others, she was fortunate enough to be a
survivor of this horrid march and continued being
transported to multiple places afterwards.

German Evacuation
Insert Artifact

To begin with, German evacuation is when Nazi’s and
guards would completely empty out the Germans. In the
evacuation areas, the Jews were banned and were
restricted to be seen nearby these parts and zones. When
the Nazi’s and other anti-Jews would wipeout the Germans,
the Jews were taken to concentration camps. Essentially,
German Evacuation is the removal of all German (Jews) in
a certain area. Nonetheless, one of the German evacuations
happened to the convicts from Auschwitz concentration
camps in January 1945. Thus, Bela at that point was
required to participate in a “death march”.

Hospital at Birkenau
Insert Artifact
Picture Here
From the numerous jobs that have been appointed to
Bela in these camps, she then and there had to work in a
concentration camp of Birkenau in the hospital. Because
of Bela being around so many sick people all the time in
the hospital, she well ahead tapered Typhus. Typhus is
triggered by very small bacteria usually communicated
by mites, ticks, and lice. This disease appears to be a
purple or maroon colored rash, provokes headaches,
high body temperature (fever), or intoxication / disorders.
After that, Bela was bed-ridden and hospitalized. On the
bright side, quickly well ahead, Bela recovered from her
illness.

Palestine
Insert Artifact

Palestine was a former British mandate on the east
coast of the Mediterranean. When World War II began
in 1939, the members of Dror (the youth movement she
was apart of) knew that along side as Vilna was not at
war yet they could continue to keep their movement
alive by heading to Palestine. Approximately six years
later she did eventually went to Palestine, but not for
that reason. She went to Palestine with a group of
youths (consisting of all females) as immigrants.

Counseling
Counselor’s are those who are trained to help others and
gave them guidance on multiple problems such as
personal, social, or psychological issues. Bela Hazan,
after the war had finally ended, became a counselor to the
group of females whom she went to Palestine with
previously mentioned. Mainly all the youths had survived
the war but then pulled out their camps they had been
forced in, their families had not. She became their
counselor in 1945 and again as mentioned before, they all
later went to Palestine in early October.
