Ektor Florentin

This is my brother Ektor Iesoua Salvator Florentin. This picture was taken in our garden in the house on Gravias Street, the house of Cohen the dentist who was quite famous in Thessaloniki. It was probably taken the same time as the one with me on the bicycle. This is our common bicycle, which unfortunately we lost after a while. My brother left Thessaloniki in 1943, he made it to Israel and he has lived there ever since; he has two daughters and four grandchildren.
