Yaakov Weiss
Yaakov Weiss (Hebrew: יעקב וייס; 15 July 1924 – 29 July 1947) was a Hungarian Jew born in Czechoslovakia and member of the Irgun, a Jewish guerrilla organization in Mandatory Palestine. After saving hundreds of Jews during Holocaust, in which his own mother died, he illegally immigrated to Palestine, joined the Irgun, and fought the British during the Jewish insurgency in Palestine. He was one of three Irgun members executed for their part in the Acre Prison break, which triggered the Irgun's retaliatory hanging of two British soldiers.

Weiss, the last Zionist insurgent to be executed by British authorities in Mandatory Palestine, is memorialized today as one of 12 Olei Hagardom.

Olei Hagardom
Olei Hagardom (Hebrew: עולי הגרדום, lit. "those who ascended to the gallows") refers to members of the two Jewish Revisionist pre-state terrorist organisations Irgun and Lehi, most of whom were tried in British Mandate military courts and sentenced to death by hanging. Most of the executions were carried out at Acre Prison. There were 12 Olei Hagardom.

The term, which was coinage by the Irgun to describe underground militants hanged by the Mandatory government, does not include members of the Nili organisation hanged by the Ottoman government during World War I. The language chosen  resonates with a positive moral evaluation: olei means  'he who ascends', while gardom (gallows) was a traditional term for Jews martyred in  pogroms, the Holocaust and the like.
