He arrived in January 1939 from Bielefeld via the flight school Teuge in the Netherlands. He was a Palestine-pioneer of the Deventer Association. After Hasselo and Brummen he lived there in the Beth Chaloets house on the Papenstraat. This house was managed by the Deventer Association for vocational training for Palestine pioneers.
