Born in 1905 in the East Galicia which was included into Poland at that time, he was in 1930-1936 an active member of the Zionist movement “Gordonia”. Until beginning of the World War-II he was Chairman of a movement’s branch in a small town. Presumably in 1942 he tried to cross the Soviet-Iran border to reach eventually Eretz Israel but was arrested, tried and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in Gulag and 5 years disfranchisement. He was released in 1952 and continued to fight for his repatriation, and in 1958 he achieved his goal. He wrote a book titled “Tell about Gulag’s labor camps”, and also a book of verses in Polish. He died in 1988. Remember & Save website
