Bergen-Belsen concentration camp
on January 11, 1944. He was deported from Bergen-Belsen to the
Neuengamme concentration camp
on November 23, 1944, where he was murdered four days later on November 27, 1944.
His parents and siblings were deported to Poland in 1939, from where they managed to escape through the Soviet Union to Palestine, arriving in 1946.
