Feldash, Moshe (“Juri”)

Son of Yaakov (Ladislav) and Zehava (Aranka). He was born on July 9, 1934 in the city of Komarno in Czechoslovakia. He completed his first four grades in a high school in his hometown. When his father was placed in a labor camp, his mother was with him in the ghetto in the city, and out of the five hundred children there he remained alone, because his mother fled and rescued him – and they found shelter and hiding in the home of a Christian Czech family. In 1949, Moshe immigrated to Israel and spent two years in a Czechoslovak youth group in Kfar Maccabee in the framework of Youth Aliyah. He later joined a core group of young immigrants from his country in Abuka. From there he was drafted into the IDF in August 1952. Two weeks after he was absent from his unit, on September 25, 1952, he found no life on an Israeli ship (Hadar) while anchoring in Cyprus. At the order of the local authorities, he was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Nicosia. At the request of his parents, he was transferred to the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem after a few years.
