World War II

Cukierman was born in Vilna to a Jewish family. As a young man he embraced the concepts of socialism and Zionism. After the German and Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 he was overrun by the Red Army and initially stayed in the Soviet zone of occupation, where he took active part in creation of various Jewish underground socialist organisations. In the spring of 1940 he moved to Warsaw, where he became one of the leaders of the Dror Hechaluc youth movement and eventually the deputy commander of the ŻOB resistance organisation. Since then he served mainly as the envoy between the commander of ŻOB and the commanders of the Armia Krajowa and Armia Ludowa resistance organisations. On December 22, 1942, he and two accomplices attacked a café in Cracow that was being used by the SS and Gestapo. Cukierman was wounded and narrowly escaped, and his two friends were tracked down and killed.
