Haim Schneider was born in Vienna in 1921, where he also received his basic schooling. In the wake of The Anschlub in 1938 he and his younger brother left Vienna at the eleventh hour. Haim left with the Youth Aliyah to what was then Palestine, and his brother with the Kindertransport to England. Their parents did not survive the Holocaust. Haim served five years in the British Army. He has lived in Jerusalem since 1946, where for over thirty years he worked in an apprentice school for precision mechanics.
