Liberty, Daniel (“Danny”)

Son of Shmuel and Susan. He was born on August 10, 1950 in Casablanca, Morocco, and immigrated with his family to Israel in 1956. Daniel studied at the Arnon School in Ramat Gan and in the biological course at the Blich High School in Ramat-Chen. He was a member of the Hanoar Haoved movement and used to travel with her friends to work camps in groups and trips. He was also a member of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI). He loved sports, especially soccer, and divided his time between the activities of Hanoar Haoved and football. He also liked the art of photography and reading books. His special love for nature devoted a great deal of time to drying and arranging flowers and plants in the album, where he caught up with them and recorded their names and characteristics. After graduating from high school, he continued to study at the Hebrew University, in the Faculty of Medicine. But in the many conversations between him and his sister about his future studies, he would say that before he finishes his army service, he is not inclined to plan. Danny was drafted into the IDF in the middle of August 1968 and was assigned to the reconnaissance unit, and his friends in the unit say that when he went to the reconnaissance unit, Danny was equipped with a camera, in addition to his weapon, with a camera that made him spend his entire army service. He felt, like all his friends, that they were doing what they were doing so that the word Jew would not be connected to the pogroms, so that the names of the heroism of a Jew would not be death for the sanctification of God. Death comes so that in Israel they will continue to live normal lives, because death comes because of our right to cultivate this land and our right to live on it and from it. Danny was injured in the eye but left his parents and only when he recovered more or less did he come home and then they found out, and when Danny was injured again, he was not lucky, on May 25, 1970, His job, when he boarded a mine in the Golan Heights, was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, and his company commander wrote after his death: “I met you for a short time, but I learned a lot about you. You were an excellent soldier, a professional sapper, an efficient squad leader, and above all a loyal friend. “The principal of the Blich High School, of which Daniel was one of his graduates, wrote:” That’s how Danny was: clean and full of hope and life, By foreign and perverse influences, which have been prevalent in recent years in the world and which, regrettably, give their signs, in large or small, in our country as well. Danny was not hurt by all this. Honest and straight-headed was. One of the activists and cheerful was Danny in our school, but without asking for wages or power. He says and does, without any inquiries – – in the Lev of our hearts, his memory is preserved – and through him is an example and example of our youth in Israel. “The teacher of the biological class at the high school wrote about Danny’s character traits:” Danny loved life. He learned easily and always insisted on solving himself without any help, any difficulties that could arise in his studies. – When we stood in the shadow of the Six-Day War and the War of Attrition, he discovered in the many arguments in the class a strong desire to contribute to the joint effort. . After that, a publishing house in his memory fell into a booklet called “Danny”; A “Yad” was erected in his memory; In Ramata, a monument was erected in memory of the fallen in the breakthrough to Mount Dov, of which Danny was the first; One of the hills on the Mount Dov ridge is called “Givat Daniel”; In Neve Ativ, in the Golan Heights, a monument is planned to commemorate the fallen of the reconnaissance unit.
