As a member of the Haganah, Hannah was trained as a paratrooper by the British in Egypt. The following poem was found in Hannahs death cell. The Hungarian Arrow Cross party executed her by a firing squad for treason. One - two - three... eight feet long Two strides across, the rest is dark... Life is a fleeting question mark One - two - three... maybe another week. Or the next month may still find me here, But death, I feel is very near. I could have been 23 next July I gambled on what mattered most, the dice were cast. I lost. imdb/video/imdb/vi953877273/
