Born 1923 in Pneyovna, Poland, he was captured, in 1941, during a German round-up of Jews and sent to a ghetto. Escaping in 1942, he joined the guerrillas. In 1944 he tried to leave the Soviet Union illegally through Romania aiming to reach Palestine-Eretz Israel but was betrayed and thus caught. Sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment in the Gulag, he was released from the camp in 1946 and in 1951 fulfilled his dream of immigrating to Israel. He has written a book of memoirs entitled «As We Have Defended Our Souls». Remember & Save Association website
