Those friends of mine from school, Horowitz and Liban, after that training course, left for Palestine legally in a military transport as future army staff. I remember that Horowitz had a passport issued by the Polish authorities. He still has that passport; now he lives in Israel, in Qiryat Motzkin, near Haifa. I think they went via Czechoslovakia. That was in 1948, but back before the creation of Israel, because Horowitz told me that they were still fighting on the front. They took Horowitz into the navy because he could swim well. I remember from when we used to go to the swimming pool, he was a good swimmer.
