Mazal Asael's brother Samuil Eshkenazi

This is a photograph of my brother Samuil that was taken in Jaffa in Israel in 1949. My parents settled in the town of Jaffa. My brother Samuil still lives there. My father became a peddler after they settled in Israel and my brothers did dirty jobs. Only my brother Beniamin managed to do very well for himself. My other brother, Eliezer, who married there and had a big family with five children, was a retail merchant. My youngest brother Samuil worked in a film studio, Fox Movie Tone. I have one brother and many nephews in Israel now. My maternal relatives also settled in the town of Jaffa. My aunts settled in Jaffa, Bat Yam and Rechovot.
