Mizan, Yirmiyahu

Son of Margalit and Asher. Was born in 1917 in Salonika, Greece, the third son of a family of eight. Yirmiyahu attended elementary school in his city. The family was well off and her life was comfortable, but the merchant father, who was a Zionist, left Greece and immigrated with his family to Palestine in 1933. With the outbreak of World War II, Yirmiyahu accepted the call of the national institutions and joined the British army. When there was a danger that Greece would fall into the hands of the German army, a British expeditionary force set sail for Greece to prevent its conquest. The Expeditionary Corps also included Jeremiah’s unit. In the fierce retreat, Yirmiyahu fell in battle on April 22, 1941. Left mother, sisters and brothers. Notes on it and articles written in his memory were published in the book “The Volunteer Book” and in the book “Yizkor” by the Jabotinsky Institute, in an investigation carried out in 2017 that found its place in ATHENS MEMORIAL, Greece. Private Space is a mikal-a space whose burial place is unknown.
