This is my cousin, doctor Levy Moise, the son of Strul Moise, who left to Israel. He was a lieutenant in the Romanian Army. Here he is wearing the military uniform that he had to hand over right after 6th September 1940 when the Green Shirts took over the power.
My mother had a sister, Betty Madrisovici (nee Moise), and four brothers: Carol Moise, Pascal Moise, Moritz Moise and Strul Moise. Moritz left for London were he had a ready-made clothes shop. At some point he changed his name from Moritz Moise to Moritz Hoffman which means ‘hope-man.’ Strul and Pascal remained in the country where they had an alehouse. Betty lost her husband, Marcu Madrisovici, and their three sons – Strul, Iancu and Lupu – in the Iasi pogrom.
