Asher Itzkowitz was murdered, beaten to death by enraged Muslim thugs after he mistakenly made a wrong turn in the warrens of Jerusalem’s Old City streets. He was making his unfamiliar way to the Wall to pray. It was the last day of Pesach, April 11, 1947.
His crime, being Jewish and getting too near the gate to the Temple Mount.
