Marson, Shlomo Eliezer


Son of Chaya and Avraham. He was born in 1901 in Krasnick, Poland, immigrated to Palestine in 1934 and worked in carpentry. At the outbreak of the bloody riots of 1936, he joined the ranks of the Haganah, volunteered to serve as an orderly on behalf of the Tel Aviv municipality and also in the Hadassah Hospital where the victims of the riots were brought. On 28 Nisan, April 20, 1936, the Hatikva neighborhood in the south of the city was attacked and Shlomo Eliezer left with Zelig Levinson to help the residents of the neighborhood. On the way Arabs opened fire from a grove and the two were killed. Shlomo was laid to rest in a mass grave in the old cemetery on Trumpeldor Street in Tel Aviv. He left a wife and a child. Was commemorated in the book “The 1936 Riots”, in the “Krasnik Book”, and in a booklet published by the “ransom of the Yishuv”.
