Freud, Ehud

Son of Deborah and Aaron. He was born on January 17, 1942 in Vienna, Austria. When he was fourteen years old, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and was attached to the immigrant youth movement from Vienna in Kibbutz Givat Haim. In May 1941, he enlisted in the British army in the unit of the diggers and enlisted as a member of Givat Haim in order to join the agriculture upon his return. In the army unit he was very fond of his comrades. In his service in Tobruk, in the eighth camp in the western desert, he was hit by a shrapnel, but before he was cured his unit was forced to leave Tobruk and he was put wounded on a ship. On her way from Tobruk to another port, the ship, on the 23rd of Iyar (10.5.1942), landed on a landmine and among those killed was Ehud. An investigation conducted in 2017 found that he was buried in Alamein Memorial, El Alamein, Egypt. This fallen hero is a “maklan” – a hero whose burial place is unknown.
