Amon, Moshe

Son of Shlomo and Esther. He was born on July 12, 1931 in Izmir, Turkey. He graduated from six elementary school grades. At the age of 14 he began to work in a silk factory, and all his salary was transferred to his family, whose existence was partly dependent on him. He found his way to Hechalutz and in December 1948 his dream of life came true and he immigrated to Israel to join the combat forces. He worked in the airport even in times of danger: once, when he was working in the air depot, he was wounded, and died of his wounds on the 20th of Marcheshvan 5712 (November 12, 1949). He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Haifa.
