Levi-Wolf, Gad
Son of Leah and Yehuda, was born on August 20, 1927, in Hamburg, Germany. An only son of educated parents (his father is an attorney, his mother is an ophthalmologist). In 1934, his parents immigrated to Israel and settled in Tel Aviv, where he studied first in the school for the children of workers and later in the Montefiore Gymnasium. At the end of his studies, he began to work and study the framework profession in various factories in Tel Aviv. When he was 18, he enlisted in the Jewish Brigade and served there for a year. He visited Belgium and the Netherlands and participated in supplying food and equipment to immigrant camps prior to their departure. After his discharge, he worked in the telegraph and government telephone service, and eventually went to work in the “Haargaz” factory in car-armor work. In March 1948 he joined the army and was sent to the military police. He served in Haifa and completed a course in Neve Sha’anan. His duties in the military police did not satisfy him. He wanted to participate in combat duties and arrived at the battle to liberate Haifa in the ranks of the Carmeli Brigade. He was one of the few participants in the Neve Sha’anan course who volunteered to embark on the dangerous combat operation in Wadi Rushmia and the Arab Council House. In this operation he excelled in installing field telephone lines. On May 14, 1948, when a unit was sent to work to confiscate cars for a convoy, he also joined her because of a lack of drivers, and served as a driver in one of the cars that did not return. When the city was conquered, his body was found and he was brought to eternal rest in the military cemetery in Nahariya.
