Born in 1915 in Poland, he worked in “Hachshara”—the courses of training agricultural workers for Eretz Israel- from “Hashomer Hatzair” in Brishnev, Poland prior to WWII. In 1946 he was arrested on a charge of Zionist activity, espionage and helping in the preparation of Jews from the Soviet Union to flee to Eretz Israel. Released in 1951, he had to wait until 1957 before succeeding in emigrating to Israel. He died in 1987. Remember & Save Association website
