Engel, Eliezer (Ladislav)
Son of Jacob and Eugenia. He was born on July 22, 1948 in the city of Vishu, Romania, where he began his elementary studies. He immigrated to Israel with his family in 1959 and continued his studies as an apprentice to the “Youth Aliyah” in the “Urim” institution in Kiryat Tivon. He then attended high school in Hadasim Children and Youth Village. He had a clear inclination to real subjects and especially loved biology and physics. He also showed a tendency toward literature and history. With all his scholastic talents, Eliezer excelled in the various fields of work, and as the work demanded more physical effort, he showed more interest and enthusiasm. Eliezer respected his parents and all his family. He was acceptable to his friends and their favorite. During his vacations, he preferred to stay in an institution or join his friends who had gone to town. He was of great physical strength, but he always refrained from demonstrating his physical strength, but often revealed his kindness. On the eve of his graduation, when he was in the 12th grade, the Six-Day War broke out, and Eliezer chose to invest his energies and national identity in digging defensive trenches to calm the frightened and frightened students. On December 15, 1969, he was killed while performing his military duties in the Jordan Valley, and was sent to rest in the cemetery in Nazareth Illit, and his commander wrote to the family in a condolence letter: “Eliezer was one of the best soldiers in the battalion. A brave guy. Strong and strong and six to battle. Despite his great power he never raised a hand on a friend and always used his power to help the weaker. We saw Eliezer in battle when he showed rare courage and fighting spirit. The soldiers of Eliezer’s company will not forget him and the paratroopers will see him as a model of a soldier. We would like you to share our belief that Eliezer’s death is part of the price that the Jewish people must pay in order to have the right to exist in its only place of refuge. “
