his is another more distant relative of my wife, the brother of one of my wife's brothers-in-law. His name was Leon Bercovici and he was a doctor. You can see even from the photograph that he had army ranks. The photograph was taken in 1930, it says on its back that it is a souvenir from his conscription days in Bucharest. He left to Israel around 1933, before the war. He continued to work as a doctor there. When he arrived in Israel, there were no policlinics, no hospitals, he laid the foundations of the first policlinic in Palestine, as the country was called back then, I think it was located in Tel Aviv. He died around 1970.
