Mizrahi, Sarah

Daughter of Joseph. Born in 1918 in Kurdistan, she immigrated to Palestine in an illegitimate way in 1932 from Iraq through Syria. Three times she stopped on the way and only managed to reach her destination for the fourth time. Here, too, she was arrested by the British police, who searched for illegal immigrants and barely escaped. Sarah joined the ranks of the Haganah and found a living as a housemaid. On 4 Av, July 31, 1938, in the midst of the 1936-1939 riots, Sarah made her way by bus from the Tel Amal neighborhood, where she lived, to Hadar Hacarmel. When the bus went over a bridge, a bomb was thrown through a window. Sarah was mortally wounded and brought to eternal rest in the Haifa cemetery, leaving parents, brothers and sisters.
