Melech, Leah

Melech, Leah


Daughter of Shmuel and Sima-Ita. She was born on July 18, 1932 in the city of Roman, Romania. Immigrated to Israel as part of Youth Aliya, arrived in Israel and went to Kibbutz Gezer. The difficult days during the War of Independence that passed did not dampen her spirit, and Leah remained loyal to her ideals as she had immigrated to Israel. She continued her high school studies among the youth and then continued in Tel Aviv. Leah was drafted into the IDF in November 1950 and aspired to continue her studies, but she did not manage to carry out her plan, because after a month, on the 18th of Tevet 5711 (27.12.1950), she died of illness and was laid to rest in the Nahalat Yitzhak military cemetery.
