Dan Mizrahy, Mira Cotin and Marian Solomon

The photograph was taken in the summer of 1930, in front of our house in Bucharest. From right to left: my first-degree cousin, Marian Solomon, my sister, Mira Cotin [nee Mizrahy], and me, Dan Mizrahy.

Marian, my cousin, was born in 1921 in Bucharest. He left on a small boat to Palestine in 1942 and spent six months in Izmir [Turkey], until the British let him stay in Cyprus, in 1943. After one year and a half he got to Palestine. He never returned to Romania.
