THE SIX
MURDERED OUTSIDE BEIT HADASSAH
17 IYAR 5740
May 2 1980

Zvi Menachem ben Shmuel Chaim - Zvi (Howie) Glatt, Gershon Klein, Ya'akov Zimmerman, Hanan Krauthammer, Eli HaZe'ev, and Shmuel Mermelstein were murdered in front of the Beit Hadassah in Hebron on Friday evening, May 2, 1980. They were there to make Kiddush and give strength to the women and children who moved into Beit Hadassah to re-establish the Jewish Community in Hebron. ?

Today there are Jewish families living not only in Beit Hadassah but also in Beit Hashishah (named after the '6' boys hy"d). They are also remembered in the new Hebron Museum which has opened several exhibits including an interactive film.
