Reevenbach, Menachem (Mordechai)

Son of Malka and Tuvia. He was born on September 23, 1927 in Tel Aviv. He completed his elementary studies at the Bilu school in his hometown and at a young age joined the Betar youth movement in the wake of his older brother. He later joined the Lehi underground, and since then he devoted his energies to the war against the British who ruled the Land of Israel, and was a boy when his brother’s life fell during his organization’s attack on the workshops in Haifa Bay (17.6.1946). On December 5, 1946, he was sent to the attackers of the Polish bank in Tel Aviv in order to confiscate money for the underground. This action is intended as a spectator’s role. During the breakout, he was wounded by a policeman and rushed to a house of friends who initially thought that his injury was slight, but that evening he died of blood loss. He was laid to rest in the cemetery in Nahalat Yitzhak near Tel Aviv. He left parents, two brothers and a sister. Six months earlier, his brother, Chaim, had been killed in a Lehi operation.
