Man in Photo Kneeling in Front of Nazis with Tallit Identified!


 The man in the photograph is Ber (Dov) Erlich, a Jew photographed during the Holocaust in the Łuków Ghetto in 1941.

He is seen kneeling, wrapped in a tallit, under the watch of German soldiers. Minutes after the photograph was taken, he was murdered. His grandson would one day be Meir Dagan, head of Israel’s Mossad. The story of israel.

Dagan has this picture in his office

Identified? This was not exactly a secret or a mystery. Meir Dagan a"h hung it on the wall of every office he occupied in tzahal and in shin bet and explained its significance to every visitor.

Meir Dagan a"h was one tough Yid. IIRC, Dayan said Meir's special skill was separating an Arab terrorist's head from his body.

He was niftar in 2017 at the age of 71
