  • Gateway, house, stairs. In Dzielna Street, different kibbutz's groups and sole companions (who didn't manage to go East) were lodged. The house - commune of the He-Halutz headquarters - was settled before the war by several activists from all over Poland. The kibbutz in Dzielna Street was not only a place for the comrades coming from all the parts of the country, but also for people distant from the He-Halutz movement and even for its opponents or those who never heard of such organisation. Dzielna Street became a centre of Jewish youth - for a long time, the only one. The widow of Herszele Danielewicz brought archives and many husband's poems there.

  • Zivia (Cywia) Lubetkin's memoirs. Record of the testimony from the occupation period of one of the most outstanding figures of Jewish resistance movement and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. After coming to Palestine after the war, she wanted to preserve the memory of the events she took part in; she told people in kibbutzim how the Holocaust looked like, what people from her circle did, with no chance to succeed, to prevent it. The description of the Uprising is the main and the most shocking part of the memoirs. They are generally considered one of the most important sources of the uprising's history.
