[Ha'aretz] Chaim Levinson - Yossef Lazarovsky, 86, is seeking recognition by the state as having been orphaned by a terrorist attack, 80 years after his father and 4-year-old sister were murdered in the 1929 Hebron massacre, when Arab mobs murdered 67 Jews on August 23 and 24. He said he remembers very well the day his father's killers entered the house where the family was hiding. "They struck my 16-year-old uncle, Yisrael, with an ax and then stabbed him to death. My father got an ax in his throat. My grandfather told me to start praying with him, until he got an ax in his head. His blood covered my face. I fell to the floor and blacked out."
