Avraham Zalmanowitz o”h, one of the victims of 9/11 is buried on Har Hazeisim. Said President George Bush about Zalmanowitz in a nationally broadcast address following the attack: “Inside the World Trade Center, one man who could have saved himself stayed until the end and at the side of his quadriplegic friend.” Here’s the full story: One of his best friends was co-worker and fellow computer programmer Ed Beyea, who was a quadriplegic. With the elevators not working after the attack, Beyea had no way of getting out. Rather than go down the stairs and try to save himself, Zalmanowitz chose to stay with his friend, and presumably comfort him until the bitter end (many believe they prayed together during those final moments as well; as Beyea was a devout Roman Catholic). Nearly one year after his death, Zalmanowitz’s remains were positively identified among the debris, and he was brought to Har Hazeitim, where he was interred beside his parents.
