Landau, Uri

Son of Shlomo and Leah. He was born on December 26, 1936 in Tel Aviv. He studied at Beit Hinuch and spent about two years in the Max Payne vocational school. He later moved to the vocational school in Tsrifin, but after a short time he felt his inclination toward village life and work, and within a large group of “immigrant camps” to which he belonged, he moved to Givat Haim where he received his training for life in an agricultural farm. From his interest in animals, he devoted himself to the cowshed and learned a lot during these two years in which he worked in the cowshed of Givat Haim and later joined the Yad Hannah farm. Since he was educated in agriculture, he continued to do so even after joining the IDF Nahal (October 1954). His ambition was rooted in the ground and upon completing his service in the IDF, he said to bring his parents to the kibbutz where he had invested his best forces, and was well liked by his comrades in the agriculture and by his commanders in the army. Husan, around Jerusalem, was buried in the Yad Hannah cemetery and on the 17th of Sivan 5718 (June 5, 1958) he was transferred to the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. Included are things about him and the late Dan Pomerantz. His memory was also raised in Uri Milstein’s book, “The Paratroop Wars.”
