Born in 1919 in Poland, he was active in the “Hashomer Hatsair” and “Hehalutz” movements and from 1936 to 1939 was responsible for the initial contacts between fishermen's groups and aliyah envoys. In 1942 he hoped to be conscripted in the Polish army which could have given him the possibility of getting to Eretz Yisrael but, instead was arrested and sentenced to 8 years imprisonment and 7 years exile. He continued his activity for the furthering of aliyah during his imprisonment. Released in 1957 he succeeded in getting to Israel in 1960. Remember & Save website
