Page 22 - Centrum Dialogu im. Marka Edelmana. Edelman. The Man

‘I found a mimeograph machine in
a school at 29, Karmelicka Street.
(…) I felt I just had to make use of it.
I knew Rutka, who was the head of

the laboratory in Dager’s photo studio.
Well, Rutka had a radio in a cellar at
Zamenhofa Street. She listened to the

news and later wrote reports with
the latest news by hand. I began to
type them on a typewriter and copy
them onto that mimeograph I’d found.
I don’t remember how it happened

that ‚Biuletyn’ started to be published
instead of the radio reports’.

Marek
Edelman

The underground press was one of the essential elements
of political resistance against the occupier and a source
of information about what was happening behind the
ghetto walls. Writers and editors were anonymous. Marek
Edelman, together with a group of friends from Tsukunft,
including Blumka Klog and Stasia Rozensztajn, printed six
magazines twice a week at night. Those included ‘Biuletin’,
‘Yugnt Shtime’, ‘Za Naszą i Waszą Wolność’.
