Biography
Born in Leipzig in Germany in 1923, Katz joined the Habonim youth movement in 1933.[1] He emigrated to Mandatory Palestine in 1938 and joined kibbutz Gesher as part of a Youth Aliyah programme.[1]
In 1941 he volunteered to join the British Army.[1] After being demobilised in 1946, he worked as a counsellor to child Holocaust survivors in Italy, before returning to live in Gesher.[1]
He was placed 35th the Alignment list for the 1977 Knesset elections.[2] Although the Alignment won only 32 seats, he entered the Knesset on 12 January 1979 as a replacement for Aharon Yadlin,[3] who had resigned his seat. He lost his seat in the 1981 elections.
Katz died in April 1982 at the age of 59.
