    Event History
    P.H.H. (Hebrew) stands for "Partizanim-Hayyalim-Halutzim" (Partisans-soldiers-pioneers) an organization of former Jewish partisans in Russia and Poland, most of whom had fought in the Red Army and then joined up with Mossad Aliya Bet emissaries in Poland in l944, as well as a number of Romanian Jews. They then proceeded to organize "illegal" emigration to Palestine, while at the same time setting up branches in the DP camps in Germany, Austria, and Italy. The organization accepted any Zionist regardless of political orientation. Crossing the border from Timisoara in the spring of l945, the PHH were the first Jews to link up with the Jewish Brigade on the Austrian-Yugoslav border.
