Kramer, Jean


Son of Avraham and Frima. He was born in Bucharest, Romania, on February 6, 1922. He was later brought to concentration camps during the Second World War, and completed his elementary and high school studies at a school of the Jewish community in Bucharest. 1946 returned from the camps and in 1947 immigrated to Israel and was immediately attached to the ranks of the IDF. When he was released from the army, he began to rehabilitate his life and his mother’s life from hard work as a mechanic and a complaint was not heard from him. After his marriage began to build his home and shortly before the birth of his son was called back to the battlefield and served with the artillery in Sinai. His health, as a result of his stay in the concentration camps, was frail, but he restrained the pains of the body. When he returned from work he gave all his Lev to his wife and son, and when he could leave his job he took his family for trips around the country. When the alert period approached before the Six-Day War, he was called back to the flag, but then he lay on his deathbed writhing in pain, but Jean did not agree to his wife’s words, Who claimed that people of his age had gone out to the Land of Israel, and packed his pack – and went on to argue that it was necessary – the hour was on the second day of the battles, he was 27 Iyar 5727 (6.6.1967). He naturally accepted every role and willingly obeyed every order and task with precision. In the last battle he did not refrain from transporting casualties and returned with heavy shelling. He continued to transfer them to the hospital, but on the way to Hadassah he was hit by shrapnel and fell. He left a wife and a son. He was buried in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem and was later transferred to the eternal rest of the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. His service was recommended for a commendation. In the book “Marinas Gabro” of the Paratroopers Headquarters was devoted a page to his history and description of his last battle.
