Mordechai or Mordechaios Frizis (January 1, 1893 - December 5, 1940) was a Greek Romaniote Jew, the first senior Greek officer who was killed fighting heroically in the Greco-Italian War. Mordechaios Frizis was born in 1893 in Chalkida to a large family. His dream was to become an officer. He took exams at the Evelpidon School but dropped out. There are two versions of this, a) that he considered it derogatory that he did not come first and b) that because of his Jewish religion he was not accepted [3]. He took exams at the University and succeeded in Law.
