Maurice (Morris) Laskov

My grandfather, Maurice Laskow (1896-1974), was the youngest brother of Haim's father. My grandfather lived in Bialystok until he was 14 at which time he was sent to the US (1910). My grandfather had contact with some of his family in New York, but apparently due to the efforts to get the sons out of Russia to avoid conscription in the army, a large age span of the children (there were many, maybe 8-10), and the fact that my grandfather was the youngest, he did not know where many of his relatives were. My grandfather saw Haim on television while he was in Chicago raising funds for Israel after the '67 War and first connected with him at that point. My grandfather (until his death in 1974) and my father, Fred Laskow (1924-) met with Haim frequently (sometimes in Chicago, mostly in New York) until his untimely death in 1982.

I presume the photo on Haim's page is him with his parents. Do you have any others? Unfortunately, we have very little information--my grandfather didn't talk much about his past and my father says he knows no history other than what I stated above. Any additional information that you have would be most interesting. There are so many pieces to a complicated puzzle--I am hopeful that we can put more pieces together.

I look forward to hearing from you, Wendy Laskow Lipsman (www. blipsman@comcast.net)
