 | | Mordechai (Motke) Makleff (1920-1978) was the third Chief of Staff of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and later, director-general of many important public companies in the Israeli economy. |
 | | Makleff was born in the village of Motza, near Jerusalem in the British Mandate of Palestine in 1920. |
 | | During the Arab Uprising of 1929, inhabitants of the neighboring Arab village of Kolonia attacked the Makleff home, which was located along the perimeter of Motza, and killed the entire family, except the young Mordechai, who managed to escape the massacre by jumping from a second story window. |
