Born in Zamość in the year 1901. He was among the first in ‘HaShomer HaTza'Ir’ and later went over to ‘Tze'irei Tzion’ and belonged to the pioneers of ‘HeHalutz’ in Zamość in the year 1917.

In the year 1920, the ‘Tze'irei Tzion’ organization in Zamość decided to kill Petlura, when he was then in Zamość. A. Hartz proposed himself to volunteer to carry this out. Petlura, however, was in the company of Pilsudski; therefore, the attempt was called off out of a fear that this might elicit a general anti-Semitic repression.

In 1921, he made aliyah to the Land of Israel. He was active in the Haganah, and in The Second World War, he joined the Jewish Brigade along with his son.

He was killed in a traveling accident on the Acre-Safed highway on June 23.^[1]
