Flossker, Moshe (Mosik)

Moshe (Mosik), son of Perl and Eliyahu Flossker, was born on the 15th of Tishrei 5711 (15.10.1911) in the city of Lutsk, Volhynia, Russia. After immigrating to Israel on 30.10.1934, he joined the Haganah and Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha. On one of the nights, when he was guarding the land of the farm in Nazla, he was injured in his resistance to the Arabs, who came to set a fire. In 1943, he joined the British army and served in the Transportation Department of the Engineers Corps in Egypt, the Western Desert and Italy. When he was released from the British army, he went to work for “Shemen”. In the early days of the War of Independence, Moshe was recruited to the Navarre’s mobile company to ensure transportation between the industrial zone and the city of Haifa.
On one of the trips to the city, he placed the armored vehicle in the port area near the Solel Boneh buildings, and the call was heard: “A car bomb was put into the area!” Together with Solel Boneh employees, Moshe went to remove the suspicious car from the buildings, but before he reached it the bomb exploded and Moshe was killed. This happened on the 10th of Adar II, 5708 (March 21, 1948), six weeks after the birth of his son. Moshe was laid to eternal rest in the military cemetery in Haifa, and his memory was included in the booklet “To our Fallen Comrades” published by Shemen and its employees.
