Axelrod, Yosef (Aussie)

The family lived in Ness Ziona and two months later, The twelve and a half and his sister were wounded. At a young age, he began to work to help his sister, but shortly thereafter he entered a framework of pioneering fulfillment and went through the stages of training and defense: a youth company (until 1944), Nutras, recruitment to the British army. When he returned safely he settled in Jerusalem. In the evenings he worked as a waiter, and every month he sent his wages to his mother in Rishon Letzion in order to survive. But the situation worsened and again he enlisted among the first. He served in the Moriah Battalion, underwent a paramedics course and served as a paramedic in an auxiliary company.
