Zvi, son of Moshe and Hadasa, was born in 1925 in Hungary, in the town of Nadoriosi, to a religious family, studied in an elementary school and continued to study in a yeshiva, and before World War II, some 800,000 Jews lived in Hungary. Anti-Jewish laws enacted in Hungary, similar to the Nuremberg Laws, which limited their economic activity.In the summer of 1940, many men were taken to the Hungarian Labor Service, where they were sent to the eastern front, many of whom perished in 1944. , And in March the Germans occupied Hungary, and in the following months the Jews were rounded up and sent to death camps A member of the Hungarian Jewish community, who was a member of the Hungarian army and was a member of the Jewish Fighting Organization in Hungary, And there was the living spirit in the group. Everyone who came with him on the radio adored his character and dedication, his knowledge and his humility. The group’s journey to Eretz Israel passed through several countries and was accompanied by many difficulties. One of the members of the training group says that Zvi would encourage his friends with encouragement and energy, and speak eagerly about national life in Israel. After a long and arduous agony, the group arrived in Greece and there the package was separated. Zvi immigrated to Israel in the summer of 1946 on the Henrietta Szold, organized by the Haganah’s Mossad Le’Aliyah Bet. It was a small wooden ship whose passengers (together with the “Yagur” immigrants) were among the first to be deported to Cyprus. The ship departed from Athens on July 30, 1946, carrying 394 immigrants, most of them survivors of camps and partisans from the Greek Communist Party, and some survivors of camps from Hungary. After being discovered by British destroyers, the ship tried to sail north from Caesarea, but was forced to dump anchor in Haifa Bay. In one of the loaves of bread supplied to the ship, a note was kept telling the passengers that they were about to be deported to Cyprus and that they had to resist, and thus began organizing for several hours of resistance, during which British sailors who boarded the ship were taken prisoner and imprisoned in the room. The British operated water hoses, four destroyers and ten motorboats surrounded the ship. British soldiers threw smoke grenades into the deck and the immigrants were forced to surrender. On August 12, 1946, the ship was towed to the port. Afterwards, the illegal immigrants were transferred to a deportation ship and taken to Cyprus. During his stay in Cyprus, Zvi continued to send his friends letters of encouragement. In December 1946, upon his release from the deportees’ camp, he joined his group and they settled in Pardes Hannah. At first Zvi worked as a laborer, and then began to study the craft of voting. After a hard day’s work, when he was tired and tired, he used to commune with his books, and studied correspondence. “I was often amazed at my young teacher and my friends because he was so easily reconciled to the hard working life he was not used to,” says one of the members. When he told him that his place was on the bench, Zvi would smile and answer: “They came to build the homeland!” The member continues: “When we were sitting and learning together, I saw that I would never come to stand with him on an equal footing … It was an in-depth brain of a yeshiva student, nothing to be forgotten about. We have all admired him for his warm and warm Lev, because of his wisdom and knowledge. ” Zvi was an active member of the Haganah and did not give up any training. Sometimes his friends asked him to restBut he refused, saying that the order of the day required and “one course should not be skipped.” In mid-December 1947, following the decision of the UN General Assembly to divide the country into two states, Zvi joined the 31nd Battalion of the Alexandroni Brigade, the Haganah’s 3rd Brigade, and since then participated in many activities in the Galilee region, And Safed, and from the front to the front, and when he returned to the holiday, he would smile as usual, continuing to adhere to his doctrine – “Do not despair, be good!” – and immediately ask to borrow a book: “Although the brain is not free to read and study, : To put on phylacteries, to sing with distinction, to write letters with content and to be preferred in the power of the group. ” On the eve of the establishment of the state, Zwi participated in the battle for the conquest of Arab Kfar Saba and Tira, a large Arab village. Which was located among the Arab concentrations in Samaria, was known to be hostile to the nearby Jewish settlements in the 1930s, and the situation continued as soon as the War of Independence began. On the night of the 5th of Iyar 5708 (14.5.1948), a force from Battalion 31 from Kfar Hess came out and reached the outskirts of Tira, near Ramat Hakovesh, where the force was surprised by a powerful burst of fire from the vicinity of the Arab village. The Israeli force was forced to turn back and retreat back to the village of Hess, taking in heavy casualties, killing some twenty fighters, among them Zvi, a member of the battle group: “The battle took place in full force and we are too tired to carry the ammunition. “Tzvi, Azur, you always have power,” we said. He did not disappoint. We would fall asleep willingly to the sound of shells and bullets whistling around. His turn was to watch. “Zvi was hit in the head during the observation, was transferred to Beilinson Hospital, but on his way there he died of his wounds, aged 23.
