Abrasha Blum was an engineer, born in Vilnius, Lithuania. He was one of the leaders of the “Tsukunft” youth movement, a branch of the Bund, and a member of the Warsaw committee of this party. As a member of the directing committee of the JFO, where he represented the Bund, he was particularly esteemed by the militants. His fire and energy literally galvanized the combatants, although he himself was unable to fight himself owing to his health problems. Having gone over to the “Aryan” sector, he was denounced by the janitor. When the Germans arrived, he jumped out the window, breaking both legs.
