Yitzhak grew up in Dombr\u00e1d where he attended primary and high school. He took his matriculation examinations in Nyiregyh\u00e1za where he also joined the \u201cHashomer Hatzair\u201d movement. In 1942 Yitzhak moved to Budapest and started publishing short stories and articles in the movement\u2019s newspaper. He took part in underground activities and, in the summer of 1944, he was sent by the movement, together with three comrades, Tzvi Lipkovics, Hillel Hacohen and Yehuda Alp\u00e1r, to South Transylvania in order to open a new route for the tiyul in the direction of the town of Bra{ov. However, they were soon discovered, caught and deported to Auschwitz (Yehuda Alp\u00e1r was saved). Tzvi Lipkovics and Hillel Hacohen jumped from the deportation train on Slovak land. Tzvi was shot but Hillel succeeded in reaching the partisans.
\nYitzhak was deported to Auschwitz and Mauthausen. He was able to finish his university studies in Hungary only in 1960 because of the restrictions imposed at the time on Jews in the institutions of higher education. He worked as a locksmith, librarian, teacher and journalist and mainly wrote on pedagogical issues. He published books in Hungarian among which are: \u201cMy Escapes\u201d and \u201cMemoirs\u201d.
\nHe resides in Budapest.<\/p>\n
