This is a photo of my mother?s, Dorina Fiul, nieces: Estera was the eldest daughter of Berl Herscovici, one of my mother's brothers; you can see her here together with her husband, Isac (I don?t remrmeber his last name), he was also a Jew from Bacau; he was an uphoslterer, and she was a housewife. They left for Israel in 1946 or 1947, and they stayed in Lod.
They kept in touch with my family for a while, but I lost track of them over the years. I hope that I will be able to find them or their family, if I have the chance to go to Israel this spring [2004].
Sami Fiul's cousin, Estera and her husband, Isac
