Simcha Holzberg

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Simcha
Holzberg, affectionately know
as the "father of the wounded"
for his decades of volunteer
work with Israeli veterans and
families of victims of terrorism,
died Feb. 14 after suffering a
heart attack.
Mr. Holzberg, who was 70,
died while attending a memor-
ial ceremony for Israelis killed
in 1978 in a terrorist massacre
of Israelis on the coastal road.
Mr. Holzberg, a Holocaust
survivor who lost his entire fam-
ily at the hands of the Nazis, de-
voted his life here to aiding
wounded veterans and the fam-
ilies of terrorist victims.
Despite failing health in re-
cent years, Mr. Holzberg main-
tained his practice of visiting
wounded soldiers at hospitals
throughout Israel, assisted by
a driver assigned to him by the
IDF.
At the time of his death, a
special IDF tribute was to have
been held in Mr. Holzberg's
honor. It was postponed be-
cause of an official mourning pe-
riod for the commander of the
Central Sector, Maj. Gen. Ne-
hernia Tamari, who died with
three other officers in a heli-
copter crash last month.

Paula Ben-Gurion, wife of
the great Israeli statesman,
David Ben- Gurion, received
her training at the School of
Nursing of Newark Beth
Israel Hospital in Newark,
N.J.
