Holocaust survivor Gabriel Koren passed away tonight (Tuesday) during Holocaust Remembrance Day at the age of 82. Koren was born in 1941 in the town of Przemyśl in Poland.
When he was a year and a half old, he was transferred to the 'Saratzankot' monastery, where he stayed until the end of the war.
In 1948, together with his adoptive family, he immigrated to Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, where he lived until the day of his death.

In his speech at the ceremony, he paid tribute to him: "On my behalf and on behalf of the Ashkelon Beach Regional Council, I send my condolences to Gabriel's family, may you never know any more sorrow. Gabi was one of the oldest residents of the council, even before it was established. The fascinating story of his life did not leave a single dry eye. May his memory be blessed blessed".
