Avram Herscu in Vienna

Avram Herscu in Vienna

This is my father's brother, Avram Herscu. The photo was taken in Vienna in 1951. My father, Burah Herscu, had two brothers and a sister. Avram was born after my father, in 1903 in Iasi. In the beginning he worked as a grain merchant, just like my father. I was very fond of him. He was a great adventurer. During the war he served in the Red Army. Then he came back to Romania, stayed for a short while and left for Israel via Hungary, Austria and Germany. He stayed for a while in Germany, got to Israel, then returned to Germany, where he got married. His wife's name was Toni. He owned a restaurant there. Eventually he went to Israel again and died there in 1981 or 1982.
