Nathan Solomon

Nathan Solomon

This is my cousin, Nathan Solomon.

My father had 2 sisters - Sura and Ruhla - both of whom I've met. The name of one of his sisters after she married was Sura Solomon. I didn't know her husband, he died during World War I, too. She had 3 children. Their names were: Nathan, Benu, and Slima. I grew up together with her children, they were about my age. They lived in Maxut, a hamlet near Harlau, part of the village of Deleni. [Maxut is located 3 km north-west of Harlau, Deleni is located 6 km north-west of Harlau.] But they too moved to Harlau afterwards. My aunt kept - as was customary in those days - a small store in the countryside, in Maxut, and they lived off it. And after they moved to Harlau, they had no income, she lived off her pension [a war widow's pension]. Nathan Solomon was about 5 years older than me. He was married to Esterica. But I no longer remember whether he had any children or not. He had a store, something like that, or he was employed in a store. He lived in Harlau. He also died there, in Harlau, but I no longer remember when. Benu was a pharmacist - the pharmacist Solomon -, he actually had a drugstore in Botosani. Slima was married to Zizi Aron - Aron is the family name -, who is still living in Israel. And his son's name is Avram Aron - people call him Adolica -, I don't know what he does for a living but, in any case, he has a very highly placed position, he is living in Petah Tiqva. They had no other children - he was their only child.
