Neiman, Zeev (Volk)


Zeev, son of Hannah and David, was born on February 8, 1927, in Poland, in the town of Girardow, near Warsaw, where he grew up and was educated at his birthplace. Poland, was also an important center of the world’s Jews Despite the economic distress, the Jews enjoyed cultural, educational, religious and political momentum, maintained relief institutions and published newspapers and books. And to push the feet of the Jews, who were considered to have a key status in Polish economic life In September 1939, World War II broke out with the German invasion of Poland and its conquest in the Blitzkrieg war, immediately after which anti-Jewish decrees and regulations were published that resulted in the social isolation of the Jews, their economic deprivation and the undermining of their entire lives. 1939, after three weeks of bombardment and bombardment, 90,000 refugees from nearby towns, including Gerardow, were brought in and living conditions worsened: overcrowding increased, food rations were cut, and the population suffered starvation and starvation. Arrests, murder in the streets, executions, deportations to concentration camps, the kidnapping of people and their deportation to forced labor in the German Reich were daily acts. In October 1939, a Judenrat was appointed, which was asked to supply the Germans with forced laborers. In November 1940 the Warsaw ghetto was closed and surrounded by a wall. At its peak there were more than 400,000 Jews in the ghetto. The deportation of the Jews to the death camps – especially Treblinka – began in July 1942 and was carried out in several waves. The ghetto was liquidated in May 1943, after the Jewish revolt in which the Nazis suffered many losses. By the end of the war about three million Polish Jews had been murdered. The entire family of Ze’ev was deported to the Warsaw ghetto, where they all perished. Only he was transferred from there to the Mlawa ghetto. He later spent two years in the Auschwitz death camp, where he was active in the underground until he was liberated by the Russians. From Poland Wolf sneaked into West Germany with a strong desire to immigrate to Palestine. He rejected a proposal to go to America and boarded the Tel Hai ship, saying “I have no one in the Land of Israel, but everyone is there, my brother, this is my homeland.” On March 17, 1946, the ship, purchased in France by the Mossad Le’Aliyah Bet of the Haganah, departed from the port of Marseilles with 736 illegal immigrants on board the “Nocham” [Pioneer Youth] and members of various movements. Was attacked by a British reconnaissance plane, and a sailor threw a ship at her, forcing her to reach the port of Haifa and forcing her to reach the port of Haifa. , Zeev was accepted to the agricultural school in Einot, west of Nes Tziona, where he was known as a man of gentle soul and a good friend, with a deep and intelligent understanding. Independence At the end of 1947, Ze’ev was one of the first volunteers to join the army and joined the Golani Brigade, the 1st Brigade, and served as a machine gunner in one of the battles in which he was wounded in the leg and sent on vacation, but quickly returned to his unit before recovering completely. In the village of Lubia (now the Lavi Forest), there was a large village that controlled the road leading east to Tiberias near the main crossroads (now Golani Junction), where hundreds of armed Arabs and their residents harassed the Jewish settlements and harassed Jewish transport. There is growing concern that Libya will serve as an outpost for the Arab “Salvation Army” in its attempts to sever the Upper Galilee and the Jordan ValleyFrom the center of the country, it was decided to conquer him. The operation was planned for May 6, 1948, but a shortage of fighters forced the Golani fighters to suffice with an act of harassment intended only to bind enemy forces to the area. On the eve of the first truce in the war, another attempt was made to capture Lubia in order to determine the opening of the road to Tiberias as a fait accompli. The mission was assigned to Golani fighters from the Dror Battalion, with reinforcements from the Barak Battalion and other forces. Sniper fire opened at the Israeli fighters causing casualties, and the lack of connection between the forces led to the failure of the attack and a severe withdrawal that took casualties. In this battle, Zeev fell on the ninth of Sivan 5708 (June 9, 1948.) Ze’ev was twenty-one years old when he fell, and was brought to eternal rest in a mass grave in Mishmar Ha’emek cemetery, the last “scion”.
