For six years he wandered through Russia and Siberia and worked hard. After the war he returned to his hometown in Poland in the hope of finding a remnant of the extended family. But when he came there he realized that he was the sole survivor of the whole family. In Warsaw he joined the “Dror” kibbutz, called the movement and friends and went with his group on their way to Eretz Israel. Moshe arrived in Palestine in 1947 on the small immigrant ship Aliyah. He made his last trip to the coast of Israel. In Israel he joined Kibbutz Mishmar Hayam. During his days in the kibbutz, he worked in the building, with a good spirit and the smile did not leave his lips.
