Arieh Katzenstein – Of Blessed Memory
Arieh Katzenstein was a pioneer manufacturer and a man of values, who left a deep imprint during his short life.
In February 1970, during a terrorist attack in Munich, he succeeded in throwing one grenade out of an El Al passenger bus. When he realized there was no time to throw the second one, he shielded it with his body and sacrificed his life.
