[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Born, during the Holocaust, in Pau ( France) after my parents fled from Holland and were sent back by the Swiss and the Spanish border police. After many wanderings we fled a second time into Switzerland (Montreux), staying there until the end of 1945 when my family repatriated to Holland. Anyhow the Swiss saved our lives. Please don't start a discussion about it. It is not really a Leica subject. After staying some time in Eindhoven I grow up in the Hague. I lived some time at Leiden and Amersfoort. In 1975 I emigrated to Israel. After some years in Haifa I am living now for many years in Rishon Le Zion, near Tel Aviv . Holland and Israel both are very special and photogenic. Israel with its varied nature and human landcape is a never finishing subject. Mickey Rosenthal
