Dov Shafrir
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Dov Shafrir (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) was Israel's first Custodian of Absentees' Property, tasked with cataloguing and redistributing to Jewish residents or immigrants the property of the 700,000 or so Palestinians who had fled or been expelled from their homes in 1948, before and after the state of Israel declared its independence on 14 May that year.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Originally from Ukraine, Shafrir had previously held a position in the agricultural construction division of Israel's Neve Ovid Company.[12] He was in his 50's when he accepted the post, just two days after the fall of Ramallah. [13]
