Yom HaZikaron: Remembering Yochanan Stahl and Salia Zohar, murdered and savaged by Arabs in 1931

In June, 1931, a young couple went for a walk near Tel Aviv.

Yohanan Stahl, 23, was a new immigrant from Germany. His companion was Salia Zohar, 22. They seem to have wanted to hike the Sharon plain and visit an orange field.

The couple disappeared.

Their bodies were found in September, buried in the sand.

Police later determined that a group of five Bedouin encountered the couple. Yohanan was stabbed and apparently beheaded. (One account says he was stabbed and buried alive.)

Salia was repeatedly raped by all five Arabs before she was murdered.

Three of the Arabs were released without charge. One was a minor and it is unclear if anything happened to him. Only one of the murderers, Rashid Osman, stood trial and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. 

May the memories of Yohanan and Salia be a blessing.
