| Benny Gantz's mother, Malka Weiss |
I was asked to find the Medical card of Benny Gantz's mother, Malka Weiss. Yesterday, I looked through the Swedish Holocaust Memorial Association archives and through all Medical cards of "Weiss".
Later, tonight, I was told that she was registered under another name... Not Malka but Margit.
Malka and her future husband Nachum met onboard of immigrant ship S/S Ulua, later renamed to S/S Haim Arlosoroff, from Sweden to Haifa that made a stop in Italy and picked up additional passengers.

Both Malka and Nachum were imprisoned in Haifa and sent on the prison ship to the British detention camp on Cyprus.
