Averbach, Carol

Son of Herman and Reizel. He was born on December 22, 1940 in Orl, Russia. His parents escaped from Poland at the outbreak of World War II. For three and a half years he was with his mother alone, because his father had been drafted into the Red Army. In 1946 fate brought the family together again and since then the family began to live a peaceful life. He completed his studies in an elementary school in Poland and began studying at Technikum, but his studies were interrupted because of his parents’ decision to immigrate to Israel. In 1957 he immigrated to Israel with his family, which was initially housed in Kiryat Motzkin, and later in Kiryat Haim. Karol was a very devoted son to his parents and undertook various jobs to help his parents establish themselves in Israel. Karol was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces in November 1960. He became fond of his comrades in arms for his kindness and fairness, and his superiors loved him, and after he was discharged from regular army service he began to work in the military industry in Haifa. In 1965 he married a wife and was a good and devoted husband, and when he was close to the Six Day War, his wife was nine months pregnant and Carol was afraid that he would not be found near her at the time of his birth. Before the outbreak of the war, but on the second day of the war he received a draft order. His art and his dedication to the role the army forced him and he hired a taxi at three in the morning and went straight to the place they need it – the Beit Shean Valley – and the Simcha news of the birth of his daughter reached him on his way to the Golan Heights. A few days passed and Caroll managed to get free, and he hurried into his dusty uniform to see his beloved wife, his tiny daughter-and his family, though he was tired and tired. Karol continued to work in the military industry and did more than what was required of him and as a result progressed in his position and became the deputy in charge of the department. At the end of 1969 his son was born. In the middle of February 1970, Karol was called to active reserve duty. Two weeks after his departure, on Wednesday, March 12, 1970, he fell during the shelling of the Golan Heights by a wife, a daughter and a son, who was brought to rest in the military cemetery in Haifa.
