Prof. Eliezer's achievements made him unique and revered, even amongst the elite circle of academics he belonged to. He qualified as a Barrister at Law in London in 1949, he worked with Einstein in 1955, and held the same three positions, Professor of Mathematics, Dean of the faculty of Science and Acting Vice Chancellor at three different Universities in three different countries (last being Australia). He was invited to present papers at the United Nations Conferences on the "peaceful use of atomic energy" held in Geneva, Vienna and Bombay.

However, it is for his love of his people that Prof. Eliezer's memory will be most cherished by them. Despite his academic and professional commitments, he never put his people second. He proved it was possible, even incumbent for brilliant minds to serve their community while achieving their professional successes. When the Liberation Tigers presented him with the title of Maamanithar, it was for his "relentless campaign for justice to the Tamils." Australia, celebrated his achievements as well as his contribution to his people when presenting him with the 'Order of Australia'

Prof. Eliezer's professional achievements affirmed his brilliance. But it was his humanism which made him the truly great man he was.
