Teichner, Eliezer (Ludwig)

Son of Gittel and Chaim, was born on July 5, 1915 in Hamburg, Germany. He attended the “Talmud Torah” school of the Jewish community and was very fond of his knowledge because of his good temper and generosity. In his spare time he would help his father in his business. After Hitler’s rise to power in Germany, the family moved to Czechoslovakia on the basis of their Czech citizenship. The father died and Eliezer settled in the city of Moravska-Ostrava. He studied frameworks and youth as a pioneering training and was a counselor in the Young Maccabee movement. His sisters and brothers immigrated to Israel and he served for a year in the Czech cavalry until Hitler took over the country and expelled the Jews from the army. Because of the need for counselors in the Zionist movement, he delayed his immigration and when he finally boarded the ship “Atlantic” he was deported with the other immigrants to Mauritius after active resistance and hand-wringing with the British soldiers at the Haifa port. There, too, he gained many friends because of his willingness to help others, and his letters were full of passionate longing for the country. In Mauritius he tried to enlist in the Czech army and was not accepted because of short-sightedness. However, when the Jewish Brigade was established, he volunteered for it and was accepted as a soldier in the Second Battalion. In 1945 he received a short vacation to visit his sisters and brothers in Israel. He came with the Brigade to Belgium. When the second battalion returned, he returned to Israel and worked in the metalwork and fodder industry in Dorot, where two of his sisters were members, and soon became involved in agricultural work and society. For private reasons he moved to Haifa in early 1947 and worked and lived with his brother. In December 1947, after the United Nations General Assembly decided to divide the country into two states, he volunteered for a partial service and served three nights a week in guard and defense positions, and was a fighter in the battles for the liberation of the city. , And fought in the Latrun sector, where he fell from a direct hit by a shell on the 5th of Iyar 5708 (June 5, 1948.) He was buried in Na’an, where he established a study room at the Talmud Torah school in Haifa. (18.5.1950) was transferred to the eternal rest of the military cemetery in Haifa.
