Skornik, Abraham

Son of Feiga and Moshe, was born in 1927 in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, to working parents. Like them, he was also modest and humble in nature. During the Second World War he lived in the Warsaw ghetto and managed to hide in various hiding places and bunkers until the “Aktion” in 1942. Avraham was captured by the Nazis and deported to the death camps of Majdanek, Auschwitz and Buchenwald. In front of his eyes were all the scenes of torture and destruction and he himself was already a “Muselmann” – a human skeleton nominated for burning, in the language of the camps – but with the American occupation saved. Avraham immigrated to Israel on July 16, 1945. Upon his arrival in Eretz Israel, he went to the Palmach and joined the Palmach, where he served in the Negev Brigade and took part in the conquest of several villages in the Negev, where he fell in the occupation of the Bir Esluj police station on Wednesday, June 11, . He was laid to rest in the Revivim military cemetery. This hero is a “last scion”.
