Leon Lidgi

This is my uncle Leon Lidgi, my mother's brother, photographed in California in 1947. He felt an obligation to my mother all his life, because she grew up without a father and mother, and her siblings loved her very much. My mother's family name before her marriage was Lidgi. My mother had two brothers and one sister, who immigrated to the USA in 1897/8. Her brother Leon had four sons: the twins Haim and Norbert, and Marko and Albert. Albert was the eldest, then came Marko, followed by the twins. There is something interesting about our family - both twins took part in World War II exactly at the time when I also took part in it. One of them, Norbert, died as a pilot, without us ever meeting. But this runs in our blood, I think.
