Salah, Danny

Son of Shlomo and Genia. He was born on January 13, 1947 in Holon. After completing his studies, he went to work because he came to his parents’ aid to support the household, enabling his younger siblings to acquire a high school education. He rejected his will to their will, for it was by nature: yielding and humble. A diamond polishing business. The man of discipline and industriousness was that at home he was educated on the values ​​of the pioneering labor movement and volunteerism. From his childhood, he belonged to the Hanoar Haoved Vehalomed movement and, reaching the enlisted age in February 1965, joined a combat brigade with a glorious past, although in his Lev it was doubtful whether he would be able to fulfill this task because of his physical weakness. And it was precisely in the army that he became stronger, grew up and became a man. “Sabra” was for everything but without roughness and prickly thorns that indicate his age. All he said was a restrained calm. He was gentle, polite and pleasant, cheerful and Simcha and willing to help others at all times – and his many friends loved him. About a week before they fell, he was promoted to the rank of corporal – and the commander of his unit, in a letter to his parents, wrote that “in his field of expertise only a few are privileged.” On the 3rd of Adar 5727 (March 15, 1967), he was wounded while carrying out his duties, and died of his wounds in the hospital, and was brought to eternal rest in the Kiryat Shaul Military Cemetery in memory of his parents. His commander noted some of his virtues: “His devotion and loyalty to his role were exemplary; The duties assigned to him – whatever they may be – were carried out with extraordinary precision and dedication. “
