Abstract:
Krakauer was born and grew up in Nikolsburg, Bohemia (today Mikulov, Czech Republic). In March of 1939 he and his brother Hans started their emigration to Palestine with the help of a Zionist organization. 1942-1945 he served with the British army in Palestine, fighting in World War II in Egypt and then moving on to France before being discharged in Czechoslovakia. He continued his studies in Prague, before returning to Israel in 1949. In 1956 he settled in Canada, where he finished his medical studies and settled as cytologist in Hamilton, Ontario.
