Description

About the Founder:

I was born in Los Angeles and am a third generation "Rhodesli". I am an attorney in Los Angeles where I have been practicing immigration law for nineteen years. During my first three years of law practice, I worked for the Jewish Family Service in Los Angeles representing the agency with their refugee and asylum cases. Since March 1982 I have practiced immigration law in the Westwood area of Los Angeles.

In 1974, and more recently in July 1996, I have written articles for the Western States Jewish Historical Quarterly concerning the Rhodeslis who emigrated to Los Angeles. This was carried out with the encouragement and cooperation of its editor, Rabbi William Kramer.

I was inspired to visit the Island of Rhodes in 1975 by stories told to me by my grandparents. Its special charm and history fascinated me. Several years later, in 1995, I went back to Rhodes with my family for my children to learn of their family heritage. It was during that trip that I noticed the need of advancing the public awareness and appreciation of its unique history unfortunately devastated by the Holocaust.
