Comornik, Mordechai

Son of Bracha and Israel, was born on 11.11.1902 in the city of Nadvorna, in eastern Galicia, Poland, to an old Zionist family. He attended primary school, gymnasium and commercial school, lived with his parents in Carpathian Russia (then Czechoslovakia) and worked there as a clerk in the District Court. In 1933 he immigrated to Israel and lived with his sister in Haifa. His other brother remained in Russia. At first he worked as a laborer in the “Nesher” factory and later in the Solel Boneh factory, which was responsible for the explosives. In 1938, he joined the Nutras and participated in the establishment of the “Northern Fence” of Tegret, which was established to prevent the infiltration of Arab gangs from Syria and Lebanon during the bloody riots of 1936-1939. From there he was transferred to Haifa as a patrolman in the “Solel Boneh”. For ten years he served as a “Solel Boneh” patrolman and wandered with the company’s camps all over the country. He recently served in the camp in Lower Haifa. On March 21, 1948, he and his friend Haim Graf noticed smoke rising from a truck, which was driven by an oriental European-clad driver who entered the camp courtyard and immediately left the area. The car was removed from the building, and as the danger to many in the building diminished, it increased to the extent of its confessions, but they continued to keep it away, in order to minimize the danger to life Until Mordechai’s car was blown up and shattered, and Mordecai was brought to rest at the military cemetery.
