Born in 1919 in Poland, he was very active in the Zionist movement there. In 1948 he distributed information among Jews about the Soviet support of the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine. As these facts were never published officially in the Soviet Union, its distribution awakened tremendous interest, giving hope to Soviet Jews. He was arrested, sentenced to 8 years in Gulag plus 3 years of exile and spent the sentence in several concentration camps in Siberia. Released in 1956, he got to Israel in 1957.
