Peleg (Flick), Ze’ev
Son of Zvi and Leah. He was born on December 14, 1922 in Essen, Germany. Immigrated to Israel in 1933. As a son of immigrant parents at that time he could only finish his studies at the elementary school in Haifa and then went to work life and helped to attract the burden of livelihood. From 1936 he was a member of the “Mahanot Ha’olim” in Haifa and one of its activists. From the movement – to training: he abandoned his parents’ home, left the urban life and prepared himself for kibbutz life in the Beit Hashita. After completing his year of training, he decided to enlist in the Palmach (the end of 1942) and after two years was among the first settlers in Beit Keshet, where he married his girlfriend from childhood. He was the commander of a platoon in the Negev (Revivim), fought as a combat soldier and commander in various battles and eventually settled for permanent army service In the IDF. Here he found his satisfaction as the educator and mentor of young men and women in Gadna, who invested his entire heart and soul and rarely took time to spend time in the circle of his family, because his whole ambition was to educate and guide a generation of fighters and command them. On May 18, 1955, on the day of the 26th of Iyar, 5706 (18.5.1955), he went on a mine in the vicinity of Kissufim, was wounded and died of his wounds, and was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Haifa.
