Son of Rachel and Zvi, was born in 1925 in the city of Storialia Ojeli, Hungary. He studied in the room until the age of 15 and later studied tailoring and worked in his profession. In 1944, he and his family were deported to the Auschwitz extermination camp, where he passed all the Nazi hell until he was liberated by the Russians. In order to avenge his Jewish brothers who were murdered by the Germans, he enlisted in the Red Army and served in the German occupied territory. Soon he returned to his town and found his two brothers who had also survived. At the end of 1945 he joined the Hungarian Communist Party in order to avenge the fascists he knew.

When he began his army service, he was transferred to Sde Eliyahu and worked there with fortifications, but he often told his friends: “I can not stand because guys fall Every day in the battles and we sit in the rear, “and demanded that he be allowed to join the group, and after they rejected him for various reasons he left the group, After a few days he was sent to besieged Jerusalem and served in the Jerusalem Brigade, and on August 17, 1948 he took part in the conquest of an outpost near Armon Hanatziv, but the attacking force was repulsed by an enemy counterattack, (August 19, 1948), died of his wounds and was buried in Sheikh Bader A.
