Stark László

Member of “Hashomer Hatzair”

Moshe was a member of the movement in his hometown. In 1943 he moved to Budapest and worked in construction. In April 1943 Moshe enlisted in a forced labor unit in Tata, received forged documents and money from Efra Agmon, a member of his movement, and, together with two friends, he escaped and arrived in Budapest. He was an underground activist for the movement. Moshe was caught and imprisoned in the Sárvár detention camp where he worked as an electrician. It was only thanks to luck that he was not caught and deported to Auschwitz. He escaped from the detention camp and moved to Romania within the framework of the tiyul and from there Moshe made it to Eretz Israel (Palestine). He joined Kibbutz Ein Dor which, later on, he left. In Israel Moshe worked in construction as a maintenance and storage worker. He resides in Haifa.
