Moshe Goldshmid

Goldshmid, Moshe; 31: From Yekaterinoslav, Russia, where he was born in 1898. He studied at the Lubavitch yeshiva from the age of 5. He came to Eretz Yisrael in 1925 and settled down in Hebron with his wife and three children. There, he was given the job of ‘shochet’, or kosher butcher and devoted much time to studying. The mob came in and tore his eyes out before forcing his head into the fire of the kitchen stove. His 5-year old daughter witnessed the event. His seriously wounded wife tried to stop the attackers, but was stabbed several times. Shortly afterwards, Arab women looted their house.
