He sought Israeli citizenship under the Israeli Law of Return, but was refused. However, he moved to Israel as a Carmelite friar, where he spent the rest of his life, and acquired citizenship through naturalization. Life Rufeisen was born to a Jewish family in Zadziele near the Polish town of Oświęcim, known in German as Auschwitz. During his youth, he belonged to Bnei Akiva, a religious Zionist youth movement. In 1941, during the war, he helped to save hundreds of fellow Jews in the Mir Ghetto (in the city of Mir, Belarus) from mass execution by infiltrating the local police station as a translator under the assumed identity as an ethnically German Pole.https://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/comm ...
