I recently returned from Israel to be with my family there after my brother passed away in Jerusalem. He was one of the initial member of the Lechi underground who fought the British Government to liberate Israel.

He lived a difficult life hiding most of the time, both from the British and most Israelis too like the other memebers of Lechi. The British arrested him and sent him to African detention camps. When he returned to a liberated Israel Pinhas served as an officer in the Israeli Army.

With much energy and dedication my brother Dr. Pinhas Ginossar increased markedly the literary knowledge about the struggle for the creation of Israel.
He was a Senior Research Fellow at the Ben-Gurion Research Center in Sede Boker and Editor of Iyunim Bitkumat Israel; Studies in Zionism and the creation of Israel.

He was a Mentch, and I am very proud of him and the way he conducted his life.

The Jerusalem edition of Yediot Achronot had a four page spread about Pinhas interesting life.
