At age 100: The last survivor of the 1929 Hebron massacre passed away
Yitzhak Ben-Hevron, who survived the 1929 Hebron massacre as a child and was among those who renewed the Jewish settlement in Hebron after the Six-Day War, has passed away, leaving behind an extensive historical legacy.
Assessment
With the passing of Yitzhak Ben Hevron at age 100, a direct living link to the 1929 Hebron massacre is severed. He was among those who reestablished the Jewish community in Hebron after the Six-Day War. His death closes a chapter of personal witness to a foundational trauma and the later return, leaving behind a historical legacy without further living testimony from that event.
