When the Arrow Cross men raided the “Glass House”, he hid in one of the rooms, made contact by telephone with the outside world and succeeded in asking for help from Swiss agents and other people. After the liberation, within the framework of his father’s metal factory, he worked for the reconstruction of the Danube bridges that were destroyed during the war. David made aliya in June 1949. He worked in several factories and in the Air Force Industry. David wrote a diary about the year 1944, which can be found in the “Moreshet” archives in Givat Haviva.
