After the German invasion of Hungary on 19.3.1944, Moshe joined the underground rescue operations but was caught due to an informer who was a refugee he had helped. He was taken to the Gestapo headquarters on Schwabs Hill in Buda and interrogated for two weeks. Moshe was then transferred to the central prison in Budapest and from there to the concentration camp of non-Jewish Hungarians in Sárvár. Following an SS inspection visit of the camp, it was found that Jews were also being detained there. They were sent to Auschwitz. Moshe stayed in Auschwitz for about a month until he was sent to the Moldorf camp in Germany. He was liberated by the American army on 1.5.1945. He returned to his hometown and found out that his whole family had perished in Auschwitz. In May 1948 Moshe made aliya and enlisted in the IDF where he served in the Intelligence. He was demobilized with the rank of captain.
For about thirty years Moshe worked for the Israeli television. He lived in Ra’anana.
