Abraham Wolfensohn served in the Shin Bet. He was in charge of thwarting soviet spying attempts in Israel.

After getting caught, he turned his life around in an unexpected way. Prof. Kurt Sitte, a Christian from Czechoslovakia, played a key role in founding the Israeli Nuclear program. He was caught “red handed” moving sensitive information to a soviet agent. Lieutenant Colonel Israel Beer leaked confidential materials straight out of the Ministry of Defense.
