Moshe Mordchelewitz - Conversation
November , 2006 in Tel Aviv

A conversation with Moshe Mordechelwitz on Nov.2006 in a Hotel in Tel Aviv
Moshe speaks about Sam. Your father was a great speaker, with pathos. He even taught me to speak.In Darmstadt they were in a Betar Kibbutz. The Kibbutz lived in a building that was a hospital for disabled people in Darmstadt not far from the school - about 20 Minutes walking. Your father lived outside the kibbutz. Sam was the manager of the kibbutz, of the belongings and appliances, woodworks, steel. He said that he teaching Hebrew, Zionism etc. He was in Eschwege Herzog in May 46 (date needs to be checked) and arrived in Darmstadt in 47. The center in Munich asked for a teacher/madrich for the Kibbutz. They were there for about 10 month. Moshe went to Israel on May 15, 1948 (or the beginning of May- since he speaks of the establishment of the State). The group of the Kibbutz stayed behind. The Kibbutz was recruited later for the war in Israel. One of the leaders from Betar arrived to recruit for the Etzel.
