The Zionist movement and its ideas, lured my father to leave Europe and the Bata shoe company and he enlisted in the movement "HeHalutz." He entered the "Hachshara" in Aussig in the Suddette. There, the Halutzim were prepared to work and learn about Palestine and the Zionist organizations ideas. There he met my mother, Irma Dvora (née STRASSER) and in 1935, they got married and made Aliya. They settled in Haifa. After a period of hardship, he was selected to manage the Bata shoe store, which he managed until 1957. He passed away, in 1984, in Haifa, Israel. |
