Ehud Goldwasser

The officers, board, supporters and staff of the American Technion Society (ATS) deeply mourn the death of Sergeant Major Ehud Goldwasser of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), who was brutally abducted along with IDF soldier Eldad Regev by Hezbollah two years ago. Ehud was a brilliant graduate student in the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. He was married to Karnit Goldwasser, who recently received her Master's degree from the Technion, for only 10 months before his death. Ehud and Karnit planned to receive their graduate degrees together, in what would have been a joyful milestone in their history of love coupled with hard work. Israel, the world, and we have lost one of the best, and our future is dimmer without Ehud and the important contributions he would surely have made. We are outraged by the inhumanity of Hezbollah's actions and express deep sympathy for Ehud's wife Karnit, his parents Shlomo and Miki, and the entire Goldwasser family. A Memorial Fund for Technion students in memory of Ehud Goldwasser has been established at the ATS. Please contact the New England Regional Office at 617-964-0048 or tech nion.bos@ats.org.
