There were even festive public gatherings. In one such assembly, the speaker addressed a public of some 150 people on the subject of active opposition. I was present at a festivity of 500 young people of one movement. As the authors of the articles published in the underground press were known, things came to a head in polemics between the various sides and finally to mutual recriminations, like in the best of times before the war.

Everyone imagined that everything was permissible. Even illegal Polish journals, such as Barykada Wolnosci [The Barricades of Freedom] (so I heard but could not verify its authenticity), were printed and appeared in the ghetto. The public believed that the Germans were only remotely concerned with Jewish opinion. They were convinced that they were only interested in uncovering stores of Jewish goods, money, or foreign currency held by the Jews. But apparently this was an error. Friday, the bloody day [referring to April 18, 1942], when the publishers and distributors of various papers were shot, gave evidence that they were not indifferent to their image as depicted by the Jews, especially their political image.
