People of Underground.

BY CURT RIESS . NEA Staft Writer SOMEWHERE

Jewish youngsters who organized | an underground movement to es-|

helpers. Theré were workers, who were moved by the horrible fate of these youngsters and their heroism and came to their aid in spite of utmost risk. They warned the Divers against betrayers. Many decided to hide the Divers and feed them. Not althese helpers ‘have humane motives. Some simply acted from opposition against naziism in general. Others acted

themselves. Given Ration Poinis Soon the Divers had a large col-

helpers. These helpers furnished ration points regularly. Some fed one or more Divers once weekly in their homes. A few gave free lodging, but some demanded money—between one and]. 100 marks for the night. The Divers couldn't go to their lodging places before midnight. Usually they had to sleep on the floor. Escape Arranged There are a number of really moving stories of people who went to . the greatest trouble to keep Divers. I read one report of an| elderly worker who had lost his children during an air raid and who kept a Diver, suffering from| tuberculosis, for months in his even paying a doctor for him. When finally he was denounced he'was able to arrange the eschpe of the youngster. The_Diver movement was at first | strictly defensive, but slowly beoffensive organization. First it had to organize itself. A so-called “Zentrale,” central bureau, was created. This bureau collected money from Aryan helpers, many of whom considered this an excellent investmeni for post war ‘years. = Papers Dangerous Money was needed by the bureau Main sources of supply were certain avid army officers, who would sell identity papers at 10,000 marks each. All these transactions were more complicated than can be told. For instance, an ‘officer who dealt in falsified papers was arrested. This meant that-all identity papers delivered by him were worthless or even dangerous and new ones must be found.

Hire Anybody

Whenever Divers were given money they had to deliver it to the central office. Some of them made money by working in industrial plants. This sounds fantastic, but the truth is that the manpower shortage became so terrific in Germany that owners and managers of factories gladly, accepted anybody. Once organization was completed, which took roughly until the end of 1943, the Divers immediately started to do aggressive work. ‘One of the most important tasks, of course, was liberating arrested comrades. Through their own intelligence service, which evidently operated to perfection, they always found out very soon where one or more caught comrades were kepf. Then the action of iiberation began.
