After Hungarian poet Hannah Senesh leaves the safety of Palestine to rescue Jews in her native country, Nazis capture and kill her.

Initial release: July 27, 2008
 
In 1944, 22-year-old Hannah Senesh parachuted into Nazi-occupied Europe with a small group of Jewish volunteers from Palestine. Theirs was the only military rescue mission for Jews that occurred in World War II. Narrated by Academy Award winner Joan Allen, the multi-award-winning BLESSED IS THE MATCH follows the remarkable journey of this young Hungarian poet and diarist, paratrooper and resistance fighter. Told through Hannah's letters, diaries, and poems, her mother's memoirs, and the recollections of those who knew and loved her (including two of her fellow parachutists), the film traces her life from her childhood in Budapest to her time in British-controlled Palestine--where she was drawn by the Kibbutz Movement that sought to build an independent Jewish state--to her daring mission to rescue Jews in her native Hungary. Both devastating and inspiring, BLESSED IS THE MATCH offers an intimate portrait of a singularly talented, courageous and complex girl who believed that one person could be a flame that burns brightly in even the darkest hours.

English Summary:

Hannah Szenes (often anglicized as Hannah Senesh or Chanah Senesh; Hebrew: חנה סנש; Hungarian: Szenes Hanna; July 17, 1921 – November 7, 1944) was a poet and a Special Operations Executive (SOE) member. She was one of 37 Jewish SOE recruits from Mandate Palestine parachuted by the British into Yugoslavia during the Second World War to assist anti-Nazi forces and ultimately in the rescue of Hungarian Jews about to be deported to the German death camp at Auschwitz.[2]

Szenes was arrested at the Hungarian border, then imprisoned and tortured, but refused to reveal details of her mission. She was eventually tried and executed by firing squad.[2] She is regarded as a national heroine in Israel, where her poetry is widely known and the headquarters of the Zionist youth movements Israel Hatzeira, a kibbutz and several streets are named after her.

Szenes was a poet and playwright, writing both in Hungarian and Hebrew. The following are four of her better known poems. The best known of these is "A Walk to Caesarea", commonly known as Eli, Eli ("My God, My God"). The well-known melody was composed by David Zahavi. Many singers have sung it, including Ofra Haza, Regina Spektor, and Sophie Milman. It was used to close some versions of the film Schindler's List:

 

My God, My God, I pray that these things never end,
The sand and the sea,
The rustle of the waters,
Lightning of the Heavens,
The prayer of Man.


אלי, אלי, שלא יגמר לעולם
החול והים
רשרוש של המים
ברק השמים
תפילת האדם

 

Another of her poems begins,

A voice called, and I went.
I went, for a voice called.


The following lines are from the last poem she wrote, "Ashrei Hagafrur", after she was parachuted into a partisan camp in Yugoslavia:

,אַשְׁרֵי הַגַּפְרוּר שֶׁנִּשְׂרַף וְהִצִּית לֶהָבוֹת
.אַשְׁרֵי הַלְּהָבָה שֶׁבָּעֲרָה בְּסִתְרֵי לְבָבוֹת
...אַשְׁרֵי הַלְבָבוֹת שֶׁיָדְעוּ לַחְדוֹל בְּכָבוֹד
.אַשְׁרֵי הַגַּפְרוּר שֶׁנִּשְׂרַף וְהִצִּית לֶהָבוֹת


Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.
Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness of the heart.
Blessed is the heart with strength to stop its beating for honour's sake.
Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame.

 

Hungarian Summary:

Szenes Anikó vagy Szenes Hanna (Cháná Szenes; Budapest, 1921. július 17. – Budapest, 1944. november 7.) magyar költő, zsidó származású brit ejtőernyős, izraeli nemzeti hős.

Azon tizenhét magyar zsidó egyike volt, akiket az akkori brit fennhatóság alatt álló Palesztinában az angol hadsereg arra képezett ki, hogy ejtőernyővel Jugoszláviába ledobva megkíséreljék valamilyen módon megakadályozni a magyar zsidók akkor már küszöbön álló deportálását.

Szenest a magyar határnál letartóztatták, bebörtönözték és brutálisan megkínozták, de ő ennek ellenére nem volt hajlandó elárulni küldetése részleteit. Golyó általi halálra ítélték és az ítéletet végre is hajtották. Izraelben nemzeti hősként tisztelik, utcákat neveztek el róla, naplója, versei széles körben ismertek.

 

„Boldog a gyufa, amely elégve szítja a lángot
Boldog a láng, amely szíveknek mélyén lobog
Boldog a szív, amely becsülettel múlt ki a világból
Boldog a gyufa, amely elégve szítja a lángot.”

 

Boldog a gyufaszál (Hungarian)

„Meghalni... ifjan...
Nem. Nem akartam.
Szerettem a dalt, és a fényt,
A melengető napot, két csillogó szempárt.
Háborút, romlást, nem akartam én, Nem, nem akartam.
De ha sorsom, hogy éljek máma Pusztuláskor,
vérontásban
Hát Istennek legyen hála,
Hogy megadatott itten élnem
És meghalnom érted hazám, földem."
