Tag #109742 - Interview #78228 (Leon Glazer)

When I went back to Bielsko again in 1947, my friends Horowitz and Liban weren't there any more. I found out that they were on training somewhere. I went back in uniform then, back as an NCO, to find out about my family and get my birth certificate made out. And it turned out - when I talked to Horowitz later - that they'd been militarily trained by Haganah [38], somewhere near Dzierzoniowo [a town in Lower Silesia], I don't know exactly what the town was called. That was back when Palestine was still in existence [39]. They were trained by the Polish army. As far as I know it even gave unofficial military support to Haganah, and apparently officers from Berling's army [40] and Anders' army [41] through Haganah trained future Israeli army officers.
