(b. 1909, Daravur, former Austria-Hungary, today-Croatia; d. 1982, Tel Aviv]
Davos, Switzerland: As a Jewish Yugoslav medical student, he killed the Swiss Nazi, Gauleiter Wilhelm Gustoff. Gusttoff was the Swiss branch leader of the German NSDAP (Nazi Party).
Though the German government demanded the death penalty, he was sentenced to eighteen years instead. He was pardoned June 1, 12945 upon WWII’s conclusion. He moved to tel Aviv, then stil under the British Manfdate, and eventually secured a staffing position at the Israel Ministry of Defence after the 1948 War of liberation.
Some historians believe that his action served as a model for Herschel Grynszpan, whose assassination of German Foreign Service Officer Ernst vom Rath inside the German Embassy in Paris, was used by the Nazi party as an excuse for an all-out attack on Jewish property and synagogues (Kristallnacht) across Germany.
