    Biography
    The Austrian section of the Brit Joseph Trumpeldor (Betar) was funded in December 1926 as a branch of Betar, the international youth organization of revisionist Zionists, headed from its inception by Vladimir Jabotinsky. Betar’s ideology stressed that the only solution to the Jewish question was the creation of the Jewish state in Palestine on both banks of the Jordan River. Toward this end, they prepared for settlement activity and trained in the use of weapons to defend Jewish settlements in Palestine. The Austrian “ken” (nest) was headed by E. Wolf and Otto Seidman. The Betar section in Gratz, which is often mentioned in the collection’s files, was led by B. Fleising. The organization was of paramilitary nature, structured on the principle of strict hierarchical subordination. An important aspect of Betar’s activity in Austria was creation of Youth Camps where organization members engaged in agricultural work and military training.
