Son of Meir was born in 1926 in one of the Jewish communities in Hungary and completed his studies in an elementary school in the town of Miskuls. The Nazis kept him in their camps and tortured him badly. When he was liberated he decided to immigrate to Eretz Israel because he never saw any hope and destiny in the Diaspora.
