Son of-Miriam to Beit Luria and Yitzhak (Yitzhak Gruenbaum, the Zionist leader in Poland and in Israel, who was the interior minister in the provisional Israeli government). He was born in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, on October 27, 1908. He was educated at the Hebrew elementary school and the “Hinuch” Jewish Gymnasium and later joined Hashomer Hatzair, When he studied law at the University of Warsaw, he was arrested for his communist activities, was severely tortured and sentenced to 4.5 years in prison, and was released temporarily for two and a half years because of his poor health and fled to Paris where he graduated from the university’s law school. Others to the International Brigade who came to the aid of the Republican government in Spain against the army of General Franco and fought in front of him In 1939, following the victory of General Franco, he fled to France with the remnants of the republican army and government and was interned in a detention camp, and when he was liberated he returned to the Communist Party and the press. When the last of the Polish soldiers were transferred to England after the defeat of France in June 1940, he remained in France, returned to Paris on his way to Paris, and devoted himself to the work of his party in the underground. After about a year he was arrested and sent to a concentration camp for Jews in Turtle and then in Boom-la-Roland, and was elected chairman of the committee and their representative before the government. According to the instructions of the Communist Party, it was forbidden to cooperate with the French government surrendering to the Nazis. He was also forbidden to escape by fleeing, but as a Jew he advised the Jews to go to agricultural work, as a proposal of the government, and thus saved from the detention regime and deportation to the camps in Poland. When the party finally allowed him to escape, he was late for the opportunity and was caught by an informer. In June 1942, he was taken to the Auschwitz camp and transferred to the labor and extermination camp in Birkenau. At the request of his friends from the camp in France, he was also given a “public” role there – to be the supervisor of the shack and responsible for a Polish criminal who was in charge of the whole hut. It was a very dangerous and responsible role, for he had to maintain order very carefully, so that the Gentile inspectors would not find an excuse to murder the people for offenses against the cruelties of their severity. From his experiences of that period, it seems that as a man experienced in dangers and prison and camp regimes and with a deep psychological understanding he could be the one who moves coolly between shadows and exerts courage and self-control to escape destruction. His first friends, who knew him from the camp in France, willingly accepted his strict authority, knowing that obedience was in their favor. For about a year he fulfilled this obligation with wisdom, caution and tact, without arousing any complaint in this period of time. Since his friends of that period had been replaced by others, the newcomers saw his aggression as cruel and infuriating. From the end of 1943 he worked in the Yevisovitch mines and in January 1945 he was transferred to Buchenwald, with the evacuation of the camps in the Auschwitz area due to the approaching Russian and Polish armies. In Buchenwald, the occupants of his former room in Birkenau accused him of cruelty, while he was an inspector there, but the prisoners’ committee, which discussed the charges, acquitted him. In the last days before liberation he took part in the defense of the camp. After the liberation, he devoted himself to public work among the former prisoners, and mainly made propaganda among the Poles, who would return to their homeland and be loyal citizens of the new regime. In the eyes of the right-wing Polish government in London, his demand was sent from the camp back to Paris. There he was met by two Jews from the former prisoners of Birkenau who accused him of being “headAfter the eight months of interrogation, when the prosecutor found no evidence to prosecute him, he immediately canceled the prosecution, and immediately after his release he immigrated to Israel on May 1, 1946. He sat in his father’s home in Jerusalem, dedicated himself to the study of Jewish history and wrote several Studies, among them: “Notes to the First Period of Jewish History” and “The Commercial-Colonial Network of the Jews in Antiquity,” which were left handwritten, began to serve in the People’s Guard at the beginning of the War of Independence, His judgment as an adult among young people, his friend’s attitude and his meaning, the defense counsel who taught of deficiencies and defects in orders and supplies due to Tanna Army formed of a forming and good humor in his remarks – all these did much to raise the morale of his company. Mainly served a machine-gunner and was once vice squad. He tried to hide his “ancestral right,” so that he would not have any advantages. He participated in the preservation of the neighborhoods of southern Jerusalem, the conquest of the David House, the railway station and the government printing press. On the 13th of Iyar 5708 (22.5.1948) a heavy attack was carried out on Ramat Rahel and the defenders were desperate. Eliezer volunteered to go out with the reinforcements and took the machine gun with him. As they were driving from Talpiot to Ramat Rachel, the armored vehicle was hit and the company commander was killed. Eliezer jumped out first and shot a machine gun at the retreat of his comrades. He was hit by a shrapnel in the jaw and continued to shoot and cover. Refused to marry his friends and continued to retreat crawling, raised himself to a bullet in the head and fell. He was buried in Sheikh Bader Aleph. On the 28th of Elul 5710 (10.9.1950) he was put to rest at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
