Leopold, son of Bluma and Brent, was born on February 7, 1927 in Czechoslovakia, in the city of Praszow, Slovakia, where he graduated from the school and then studied the profession of watchmaking. The Central Jewish Bureau of Slovakia, founded in November 1938, united non-ultra-Orthodox organizations and carried out social, economic, cultural and religious activities, and at the outbreak of the war, Slovakia, and Slovakia became an independent state under the auspices of the Nazis The deportation of the Jews of Slovakia to extermination was carried out in two waves Of the Slovakian population between March and October 1942, when some 58,000 Jews were deported, and the second wave was run by the Germans, and between September 1944 and March 1945, some 12,000 Jews were deported to Leopold and his family. Who survived the war and returned to Prague and worked as a watchmaker, and he joined the Dror movement and was joined by a member of the Dror movement, and his friends remember him as one of the most cheerful and cheerful friends in the group. . In anticipation of the declaration of the establishment of the state and the invasion of the Arab armies, the Haganah stepped up its efforts to build an air force capable of responding to the Arab air forces, some of which were nurtured by Britain. The preparations were made secretly by the British authorities, and in the framework of these agreements the arms deal between the representatives of the Jewish Agency and the Czechoslovak authorities was signed at the beginning of 1948. Among other things, several fighter planes were purchased, and it was agreed that Czechoslovakia would allow the training of Jewish pilots from Eretz Israel. Leopold was one of the Jewish residents of Czechoslovakia who joined these exercises. He joined the course that began in July 1948. With the declaration of independence and the invading Arab armies, the need for the immediate establishment of an Israeli air force increased. The armies of the invasion had more than 100 aircraft, most of them fighter planes, and Israel had only a few dozen small planes. The significance of the gap was that in fact, the skies of the country were exposed to Arab air attacks, the most difficult of which was on Tel Aviv and its environs, resulting in more than 100 Jewish deaths. Thus, the pace of the course in which Leopold participated was accelerated. On the 25th of Tishrei, 5709 (25.10.1948), the last day of the flight course, Leopold and two other students took the course for two exercises. But their mission was unsuccessful. The planes fell, and the three pilots, one from Israel and two from Czechoslovakia, were killed. Leopold was twenty-two years old when he fell. Was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Olmitz, alongside the two who were killed with him. On the 17th of Tishrei 5721 (17.9.1961), the bodies of Leopold and his comrades were transferred to Eretz Israel and brought to eternal rest in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. He is almost a boy, always cheerful, always playful, loves to sing and likes to dance. How proud you were in your pilot’s uniform, with the girls turning their heads behind you as you walked with the ranks on your shoulder in the streets of the city. We are planning to establish a kibbutz of pilots in Israel, and what about these plans? “The space is” the last bastion. “The last survivor of the Holocaust is Holocaust survivors who have remained the last remnant of their nuclear family (parents, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters) The Holocaust in the ghettos and / or the concentration and death camps and / or in flight and hiding in the territories occupied by the Nazis and / or fighting alongside members of the underground movements or partisans in the Nazi-occupied territories who immigrated to IsraelWorld War II and afterwards, they wore uniforms and fell in the ranks of Israel.
