Yehuda was brought up in an orthodox Jewish family. On 16.4.1944 he fled to Budapest carrying authentic Christian documents bought from a friend in his hometown. Yehuda intended to leave Hungary on the train of the Relief and Rescue Committee but at the Jewish Center he met Rafi Benshalom, who enlisted him in the underground. He took part in the rescue of Jewish young men from the forced labor units and in moving people from the Yellow Star Houses. Yehuda was caught in November 1944 while trying to rescue Jews from a \u201ctransport\u201d at the railway station in \u00dajpest, a suburb of Budapest. He was tortured with electric shocks but after a few days he managed to escape and resumed his activities with the underground until the city was liberated by the Red Army in January 1945.
