Tag #109749 - Interview #78228 (Leon Glazer)

I wanted to leave Poland too, even before that. Between 1948 and 1953 I wrote about five or six so-called release reports because I wanted to emigrate - at first to what was still Palestine. I knew that secretly the army agreed to that, and that there was some kind of recruitment campaign underway to Haganah. I also knew that some Haganah officers had served in the Polish Army, or in Berling's or Anders' army during the war. Why I wanted to leave? Because I wanted to start myself a family. Straight after the war I went into the army - how do you start a family then?
