Doru Koller at bar mitzvah

Report an issue

This is Doru Koller, the son of some acquaintances, at the age of 13, when he donned the tefillin. He wrote on the back of the photograph: "With all my love, accept this memory from my bar mitzvah, Doru. 1967."

Doru had a sister who was older than him, Bella. They lived in Dorohoi, they were born and raised in Dorohoi. Doru's father died here, in Dorohoi, and his mother left to Israel with the 2 children and her mother-in-law - she was still living. Doru graduated the Faculty of Medicine in Romania, he was already a doctor when they left. He was a doctor in Israel too, he got married, he has 2 children of his own, his children themselves might be married by now. But I no longer know anything about this family.
