This region of northern Transylvania was returned in 1940 to Hungarians, who collaborated with the Nazis in sending the Jews to extermination camps. Thus the boy David-Aryeh arrived in Auschwitz and from there was sent to forced labor in the camps in Germany and survived the hardships until the liberation, and in the meantime he learned how to cook. After the liberation, he joined a pioneering organization in Germany and in the summer of 1947 came to work in Petach Tikvah, and when he began the War of Independence, he immediately went to service and after he won his pleas and pleadings, he refused to accept him because he was too young to be Simcha with him. He learned of fatigue and the difficulties and the shortage, sweetening jokes that had a positive effect on the spirit of his comrades, and was transferred as a reinforcement to the Jerusalem area, where he fought valiantly and enthusiastically as a combat soldier in the Harel Brigade. Who was killed in battle on the 17th of Iyar 5708 (26.5.1948) was brought to rest Water at the military cemetery in Kiryat-grape.
