Kopel Kolpanitzky grew up in Lahwah, Byelorussia. His entire family
was murdered in the Lahwah ghetto uprising against the Nazis,
except for his father, who had previously been imprisoned by the
Soviets. Living in the forests, he joined a partisan unit and then
fought as a soldier in the Red Army. After the war he left the army
and in trying to reach Eretz Yisrael almost reached the shores of
Palestine before the ship he was on was stopped by the British and
its passengers sent to a camp in Cyprus. A year later he finally
arrived in Eretz Yisrael just before Israel's independence. He
served in the Israel Defence Forces and later entered into business
with his father, who had joined him in Israel in the early 1950s.
