Born in 1921 in Dvinsk, Latvia, he was a member of "Beitar" from 1933 to 1938. In 1933 he emigrated to Israel but had to return in 1939 for family reasons and was thus effectively trapped in Latvia because of the war. In 1942 he was arrested, accused of Zionist activities and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment and 5 years exile. Freed in 1957, he was still unable to get to Israel till 1971.
