of his comrades wearing the Arrow Cross uniform, he saved a group of
140 Jews, who were headed for the banks of the Danube River where the
fascists were going to shoot them, and took them to the ghetto. Eliezer
saved the lives of Jewish patients in an Aryan hospital on Wesselényi
Street and took them too to the ghetto. After the liberation he gathered
Jewish orphans and took them to children’s houses. In August 1946 he
made aliya.
