But when he was alive, the fourth son that is to say my fifth brother Charles who was here was dating a Catholic girl. He was born in Egypt too. He also said I will not stay, I will go to Rio too. He went ahead and left for Paris. He did not have a visa for Rio. My older brother said you stay in Paris and wait, I will send you a visa. Charles got a permit for 6 months, in the meantime, problems arose for the visa, he could not get it one way or the other. Consequently he got engaged to a Jewish girl who was an acquaintance, he went to the Prefecture de Police (Police Station), saying we are engaged, we are getting married, and extended his permit for another 6 months. In this way he extended it for 3 years. In the meantime he worked there, he did tailoring, ironing, he did commerce. The purpose was to earn his living. 3 years later the French said you are not getting married and revoked his passport, took him to the embassy, and because he hadn’t done his military service, he became a fugitive soldier. And they moved him out of border to Italy. When he went to Italy, the visa for Brazil came to Paris in the end, but he couldn’t go and came back her with the police. He disembarked in Sirkeci with the police. My father waited for him, gave the guy 10 bucks, and the police let him go. He did not go to the military for 3 years. He stayed here.
