Hodel Landau, eighteen-year-old daughter of the secretary of the Chassidic Rebbe’s court at Belz, committed suicide by jumping from a window. It was stated that the cause for her act was her parents’ objection to her joining the Zionist Organization and the persecutions she suffered because of their intolerance of her views.
