HEROINES OF THE SPECIAL OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE - HANNAH SZENES

 

Hannah was born in Hungary

But immigrated to Palestine in 1941

And was a member of Kibbutz Sdot Yam

She was one of the first female fighters

To serve in the Palmach striking force 

She was one of thirty-seven

Palestinian Jewish parachutists

Sent on missions in Nazi-occupied Europe

For the Special Operations Executive

She was killed in November 1944

By the SS in the Kremnička massacre

She was captured by Hungarian gendarmes,

Imprisoned, tortured and executed

By the fascist Arrow Cross regime in Budapest
