He was imprisoned in concentration camps during the Holocaust; he was transferred from a labour camp in Sandomierz to one in Starachowice, and from there to Auschwitz. In January 1945, he was sent on a death march to Mauthausen, where he was liberated. That same year, he ran the British Blockade and emigrated to Palestine, where he lived on a kibbutz until he was wounded in conflict in 1950. He moved to Canada and settled in Montreal.
