After surviving the Mauthausen and Auschwitz concentration camps, he arrived in Italy around July 1945, where he lived in the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) displaced persons camp in Santa Cesarea. Around July 1946, Moishe attempted to smuggle himself across borders to Palestine but was apprehended and returned to Santa Cesarea. He was later transferred to the UNRRA displaced persons camp in Milan, Italy, around 1947.
