Alexander/Leizer Rosner

Leiser's story is very interesting.

As all the children of Fulie and Meyer he spent part of his childhood in orphinages. He was an electrician and worked many years at the Czernowitz Electric Works. He was in Czernowitz under the Soviet rule in 1940-41 and when the German invasion started he was taken to the Soviet Army and prticipated in different fights in Ukraine and in 1942 was taken prisonner by the German Army. Somehow he managed to convince his capturers that he is not Jewish but a Volksdeutsche and he was sent to Kimpolung. He hoped to find there our family. What he did not know is that in the meanwhile all of us were deported to Transnistrria.

He hided in different places and finally got to a Romanian family which accepted to hide him. He stayed there until the end of WWII. My father was the first to go back to Bukowina and the first to meet him.

Immediately after the war, Leiser married the daughter of the family which hided him and soon after that they moved to Bucharest. Leiser started again to work as an electrician. His wife was a nice person and I was in very good relations with them and visited them many times.

In the early 50s Leiser's wife got sick of TBC and after 2-3-years she died.

In 1972 Leiser came to Israel. In the first years he worked on the oil field of Abu Rodeis in Sinai.
