During World War II he was one of the leaders of the Jewish underground in the Warsaw Ghetto, and a member of the presidium of the Underground National Committee. He also served as general secretary of Żegota, the Polish underground Council for Jewish Aid whose aim was to rescue Jews from the Holocaust, and CENTOS, a children's aid society in the Warsaw ghetto.〔(Avraham Berman: Public Activities ) Knesset website〕 After the war ended, he became a representative of the communist-dominated Sejm, and in 1947 became chairman of the Central Committee of Polish Jews. Berman was forcibly removed as CKŻP chair in April 1949, because he was a Zionist. In 1950 he made aliyah to Israel, where he joined Mapam (United Workers Party). He was elected to the Second Knesset on the party's list in 1951 elections, but on 20 February 1952 left the party and formed the Left Faction together with Rostam Bastuni and Moshe Sneh.〔(Mergers and Splits Among Parliamentary Groups ) Knesset website〕 On 1 November 1954 Berman joined the Communist Party of Israel (Maki), and became a member of its Central Committee.〔 He lost his Knesset seat in the 1955 elections. In 1961, Berman testified at Adolf Eichmann's trial in Israel. Berman served as chairman of the Israel's Organization of Anti-Nazi Fighters, and a member of the presidium of the World Organization of Jewish Partisans and former Nazi Prisoners. He died in 1978 at the age of 71. His older brother, Jakub – Joseph Stalin's right hand in the People's Republic of Poland – was in charge of the notorious State Security Services, the largest secret police in Polish history until 1956. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adolf Berman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
