Stadler, Avraham (Avri)


Son of Yeshayahu and Ita. He was born on September 18, 1947 in a detention camp on Cyprus for illegal immigrants to Mandatory Palestine. The family arrived in Eretz Israel from Hungary after the end of the Second World War, through the UNRRA camps in Austria and Italy, and in the Cyprus refugee camp when the family was released from the camp three months later, on November 30, 1947, . Thanks to the baby, the British allowed the parents to immigrate to Israel. A devoted, sensitive child was Abraham who grew up in Sde-Nahum and later in Ein Harod. Avraham studied at the elementary school at Sde-Nahum and completed his studies there, and then studied in the following classes in Ein Harod. His hobby was handicraft, especially wood carvings. He was a farmer and worked in the fields – in the Shlachin, in the cotton and in the esophagus. He was diligent and diligent and responsible for his work. His Lev was open to give a helping hand to anyone who asked for it. When he graduated from high school, he said, “After the army I will continue to study.” In November 1965 he was conscripted into the IDF until the day he fell in. He often argued with his father about the Holocaust, and the father wanted to convince him that Diaspora Jewry had no choice but to save him, but he did not understand it. : “Why did not you fight the Fascists?” Abraham spoke as a strongman in the body and soul, and his courage found expression in this claim: He was a paratrooper and was proud of his red cap, extreme in character, trusting and tough, but kind. Avraham and the platoon of UAVs were transferred to armored vehicles. His mood declined, but the battalion commander said: “Wherever you are, there will always be paratroopers.” Two days before the battle he returned home and boasted that his commander, Ehud Shani, had chosen him as an outstanding soldier to be on a team with him in the armored car at the head of the assault on the enemy. Abraham was Simcha, because the commander had a bad and a brother – and both of them fell in the battle that took place on the liberation of Jerusalem in Tel – El – Paul on the second day of the battles, is 27 Iyar 5727 (6.6.1967). He was brought to rest at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, and Sde-Nahum published a leaflet in his memory called “The Field.”
