Born in 1915 in Warsaw, he was brought up in the spirit of Zionism. A graduate of the Medical School of Lvov University (1940), he was involved in Zionist activities throughout his studies. As a member of the “Zionim Klaliyim” (“General Zionists”) party he disseminated Zionistic principles among his fellow-students. Lecturing and writing on Zionism until 1939, he was arrested in 1942; his interrogation continued for two years, during which he was severely tortured. He was then sentenced to 10 years in labor camps for “espionage for international Zionism” followed by permanent expulsion to North Siberia. Due to pressure from the Polish authorities, his sentence was shortened and he was set free in 1957. He succeeded in emigrating to Israel that same year. He died in 1992. Remember & Save website
