What you may do with the content of this website, how we use other people’s materials, and whom to contact if something seems wrong.
This is a non-profit family memorial website dedicated to the life and work of Mordechai (Motke) Gazit (1922–2016). Its purpose is to preserve his story and make it accessible to the public, to his family, to researchers and to educators.
By using the website you agree to the terms below.
The texts were written for this website and are based on the sources listed alongside each chapter and on the Sources & credits page. We have made every effort to be accurate; if you find an error, we would be glad to correct it.
The website is for information and remembrance only, and is not an official publication of any government body.
Original texts, the design and photographs from the family album are the property of the Gazit family unless otherwise stated. Short excerpts may be quoted for teaching, research, review or journalism, with attribution and a link to the page. For wider or commercial use, please contact us.
Third-party materials — photographs, documents, film clips and quotations from books and articles — belong to their rights holders. They are shown with attribution and, where known, in accordance with their licence. Official works of the United States government, such as White House photographs and declassified memoranda of conversation, are in the public domain. Photographs under a Creative Commons licence are shown under the terms of that licence.
Some materials on this website are used under the fair use provisions of Section 19 of the Israeli Copyright Act, 2007, and in keeping with the fair use principles of 17 U.S.C. § 107.
They are used for historical documentation, research, criticism, review and teaching. The website is non-commercial and carries no advertising. Quotations are limited to what is needed to understand the context, every item is attributed to its owner and, wherever possible, linked to the full original — to encourage reading it, not to replace it.
If you hold rights in material that appears on this website and believe its use goes beyond fair use or infringes your rights, or if personal information appears here that you would like removed, please reach us through the contact page.
Please include the page address, the material concerned and details of the right. We will review every request promptly and, where needed, correct the attribution or remove the material.
The website links to archives, libraries and other external sites so that sources can be consulted. We are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.
The website uses no advertising or marketing trackers. Display preferences, such as dark mode and accessibility settings, are stored only in your browser. The contact form opens an email in your own mail program, and the details you send are used only to reply to you.
We may update these terms from time to time; the current version will always be published on this page. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel.
