#Zosi view not logging in code
However her sacrifice was largely in a vain, as Wilhelm Vauck, principal cryptographer of the Funkabwehr was able to piece together clues provided by several pieces of paper discovered in the house, that the code used message encipherment that was based on a chequerboard cypher with a book key, a form of substitution cipher. Poznańska committed suicide by hanging on 29 September 1942 in Saint-Gilles Prison, Brussels, so that the cipher she was entrusted with would not fall into German hands. Poznańska was one of the first to be arrested by the Abwehr. She was arrested by Abwehr officer Harry Piepe on the night of 12-13 December 1941. Poznańska lived with housewife and courier Rita Arnould at 101 Rue des Atrébates, in Etterbeek, Brussels. In October 1941 Poznańska was sent to Brussels to be a cipher clerk to Soviet GRU intelligence agent and radio operator Mikhail Makarov. She was the cipher expert in a spy cell run by Trepper under a false Belgian identity as "Anna Verlinden". After French police began to put pressure on communists, she moved to Brussels. When she returned to Israel, she found that the Ihud had been suppressed by the British authorities, and she eventually moved to Paris, where she was also active in the communist movement. She returned to Poland on learning that her sister had fallen seriously ill. In 1927 Poznańska joined the Palestine Communist Party. There she met Leopold Trepper and joined his Communist cell, the Ihud movement. After becoming disillusioned with the kibbutz and struggling to reconcile her Socialist-Zionist politics with the displacement of Arab farmers, whose land was being purchased, Poznańska moved to Tel Aviv. In 1925, when she was 19, Poznańska emigrated to Palestine to live and work at the Mishmar HaEmek kibbutz, laying gravel to create roads. As a youth she was a member of the left-wing Hashomer Hatzair Socialist-Zionist secular Jewish youth movement. She later grew up in Kalisz, after Poland regained its independence in 1918. Zofia Poznańska was born in Łódź, Congress Poland, Russian Empire, into the prosperous Jewish family of Mosze Poznański and Hana Poznańska, née Basz.
