The funeral of Kurt Rothschild, the president of the World Mizrachi Movement, was held Monday afternoon in Jerusalem, less than one day after Rothschild passed away at the age of 101.
Born in Germany in 1920, Rothschild was sent to England by his parents in 1937, before being relocated by the British to Canada in 1940.
Along with other German refugees, Rothschild was interned in Canada for 18 months.
