Hochglick, David (Dodek)

Son of Malka and Eliahu, born 1920 in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, finished high school and became a merchant. He grew up in a Hasidic home and was influenced by his older brothers, and joined the “Maccabi” association. Due to family reasons he could not immigrate to Israel in time. When the Germans occupied Warsaw, he fled to the Russian region, was arrested and transferred to Siberia. There he spent all the years of the war in hard labor. When Poland was liberated, he returned and learned that his sisters had emigrated to Israel. He no longer rejected his immigration and arrived in Palestine via the Bergen-Belsen camp in 1947. David lived in Tel Aviv and specialized in the textile profession, but he did not have many days of rest. David was among the first conscripts, was transferred to Haifa and participated in the liberation of the city and the evacuation of the road to it. He was stationed in the Carmeli Brigade and moved with her to the Upper Galilee. On the 3rd of Tammuz 5708 (10.7.1948) he fell in Rosh Pina and was brought to rest at the military cemetery in Rosh Pina.
