The woman with the highest position in the history of the Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad, Alisa Stomach, died at the age of 88. She had “devoted her life to the safety of Israel and his citizens,” said it in a message from the Mossad.
The Mossad praised the daughter of Frankfurt Jews, born in Jerusalem, as a “respected, groundbreaking and devoted commander”.
Stomach climbs the highest position of a woman in Israeli secret services so far during her career and became vice-president of the Mossad in the nineties. She kept this role among three Mossad directors until retirement.
Knowledge of German helped with the career of the secret service
During an event about the special role of German -born Jews in the secret services of Israel, Stomach told about their career in 2015. As a young woman she was hired by the Mossad. “When I started working, there was a big demand for German spread employees,” said the very determined -looking woman.
Hunting Olympic attackers in 1972
“At that time it was still sought intensively for high-ranking Nazis, such as Josef Mengele,” she said about the Nazi doctor. Mengele was responsible for the cruelest medical experiments in the Auschwitz Nazi concentration and the extermination path and was notorious under the name “Death Angel of Auschwitz”. According to media reports, the stomach was also involved in hunting the murderers of the 1972 Olympic attack in Munich.
“During their service, the stomach was involved in hundreds of intelligence activities and important operations and served in various management positions at home and abroad,” said the Mossad. “Alisa was a load -bearing pillar of the Mossad and has formed generations of employees.”
