Greenblatt, Moshe (Moshke)

Moshe, son of Leah and Chaim Greenblatt, was born in 1930 in Antwerp, Belgium. With the outbreak of the War of Independence, many Jews came to Israel as part of the overseas volunteers (Machal) and Moshe among them. On October 30, 1948, Moshe fell in battle at a southern position in Jerusalem in the Arnona area. He was buried in the temporary cemetery in Sheikh Bader and two years later he was laid to rest at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. He left behind a sister in Belgium.
