While Prime Minister, Yehuda Avner served as Begin's speech writer. After the British searched the area but missed the street where his house was located, Begin and his family moved to a new home on a Tel Aviv side street, where he assumed the name Yisrael Sassover and masqueraded as a rabbi. There, at the age of thirty-one, he would rise to leadership of an underground organization, the Irgun. His condition slightly improved following treatment, and he regained consciousness after 20 hours. The Israeli left-wing opposition criticized it also at the time, but mainly for its timing relative to domestic elections only three weeks later, when Likud was reelected. In September 1939, after Germany invaded Poland, Begin, in common with a large part of Warsaw's Jewish leadership, escaped to Wilno (today Vilnius), then eastern Poland, to avoid inevitable arrest. The Irgun next bombed the Income Tax Offices in those three cities, followed by a series of attacks on police stations in which two Irgun fighters and six policemen were killed. In the summer of 1945, as it became clear that the British were not planning on establishing a Jewish state and would not allow significant Jewish immigration to Palestine, Jewish public opinion shifted decisively against the British, and the Jewish authorities sent feelers to the Irgun and Lehi to discuss an alliance. "[65], Begin subsequently retired to an apartment overlooking the Jerusalem Forest and spent the rest of his life in seclusion. Much later in life, Begin recorded and reflected upon his experiences in the interrogations and life in the camp in his memoir White Nights. He was buried, as he wished to be, not among Israel’s leaders on Mount Herzl, but on the Mount of Olives, and not in a state funeral, but in a simple Jewish ceremony. [46], In terms of social justice, however, the legacy of the Begin Government was arguably a questionable one.
