Yoslewicz, Chaim
Son of Gershon. Born in 1912 in the city of Jatl, Poland. When he was young, he joined the Zionist pioneering movements and when he was 19 he left his home and went to a pioneering training program (hachshara) in a Zionist pioneering training commune (kibbutz hachshara) of the He – Chaluts movement in Poland. In 1935 he achieved his dream and immigrated to Eretz Israel. He settled in Petach Tikva, joined the Haganah and worked for a period in Tnuva. When he left his job at Tnuva, he joined a group of workers who were looking for water in the vicinity of Ein Feshcha in order to prepare a place for the establishment of a Jewish settlement in this remote area. During the 1936-1939 riots, on 22 Tamuz, 21 July 1938, a gang of armed Arabs attacked the camp, killing four of them, including Haim. He was laid to rest in the Petach Tikva cemetery. All the members of his family who remained in Poland were murdered by the Nazis in the Auschwitz death camp. On a stone rock from the local stone, located above the drilling pit at the site of their murder, at the foot of the Qumran caves, was written by their friend Moshe Adaki, who was with them at the time of the attack, and succeeded in escaping: “Here fell Haganah members Shlomo Shvili, Avraham Abadi-Tzedek, Haim Yoslewitz, They went to find water to revive the wilderness. “
