It was with great regret that we learned of the death of Alex Dancyg.

It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Alex Dancyg.
The Centre’s collection includes a lengthy interview with Mr Alex conducted by our staff and volunteers in his flat in the Nir Oz kibbutz near Gaza. Today we are sharing a small excerpt of it (link below). During the 2016 interview, Mr Alex shared his fears about a Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. Unfortunately, his premonitions came true.
RIP R.I.P.
