She lives now in America and she still keepsin touchwith my sister. She was already married and they decided to leave Romania. They didn’t want to emigrate to Israel. Back then, between 1950-60, there was a society called Hias, which lured Jews to leave for America and not for Israel.
So they lived for six months in Italy, waiting for their approval for America or for a ticket for the ship…I don’t know details. But still in Italy he had an infarct, fell on the street and died.
