Demros, Osher (Asher)
Son of Sheindel Galette and Shaul Avraham was born in 1909 in Warsaw, Poland. Until the outbreak of the war in 1939 he worked in the film industry in Warsaw. He had a friend whom he wanted to marry, and since they were both students he bought his company a certificate for Palestine and sent her a large part of his salary every month to buy a house in Israel. Unfortunately, the war thwarted his plans. When the Nazis entered Warsaw he managed to escape to the Soviet Union. They sent him to the town of Shehti near Rostov, where he worked very hard in the coal mines. On April 22, 1941, the German army occupied territory in the Soviet Union. Osher Demeros worked in a lead mine, and from there he was sent to forced labor in the Ural Mountains to the city of Magnitogorsk. He also worked there in the mines. At the end of the war, in 1946 Osher returned to Poland, but few of his family survived the Holocaust. He settled in Lodz and worked in the film industry. In Poland he enrolled in the kibbutz and the “Haganah” (emissaries of the kibbutz arrived in Poland and recruited people to immigrate to Israel). In the summer of 1948, he decided to immigrate to Palestine, and was Simcha with the planned immigration to Israel, and when he arrived in Israel, he sent an emotional letter: “I saw a Jewish policeman on a white horse.” He was placed among the ranks of the soldiers in the Alexandroni Brigade on October 28, 1948. He fell near a post in Ein Shemer on the 9th of Av 5709 (9.8.1949) and was brought to rest in the military cemetery in Afula.
