Karl Pfeifer

In 1943 the Socialist-Zionist youth organization Hashomer Hatzair decided to evacuate Pfeiffer to Palestine together with a group of other young refugees.

He lived in a kibbutz there and from 1946 served in Palmach, the elite troop of the underground Jewish army Haganah, whose members subsequently became part of the Israel Defense Forces.

In this function he wrote in an article in 1995, that the political scientist Werner Pfeifenberger had used "Nazi tones" in the yearbook of the freedom party academy.

From the early 1990s, Pfeifer worked as a Vienna correspondent for Israeli radio and as a freelance journalist for the London monthly anti-fascist magazine Searchlight and the Budapest weekly newspaper Hetek.

In 2008, Mary Kreutzer produced a documentary for the Society for Critical Research on Antisemitism about his life entitled Zwischen allen Stühlen.Lebenswege des Journalisten Karl Pfeifer.
