Natan and Laja in Israel 1949-1957
Natan and Laja left the DP Camps and went to Israel via Marseille in 29.6.1949 on the SS Galila.
At first they lived in a tent city for about 6 months. They then moved to a one room apartment on top of an old apartment block Hasan Beck, a suburb or development site in southern Tel Aviv, behind the Carmel market near the Jaffa mosque.
The street did not have numbers and the apartment was in a "Lot". ( the Inter Continental David Tel Aviv now stands in that Lot and the swimming pool is where the apartment was located.
The only information on the address is taken from a letter Natan sent to his cousin, Mendel, in Australia
Natan worked as a shoemaker in Jaffa, and again the only information is a copy of the "rubber stamp" with street address.
As well is a certificate of registration of Natan's one man company.
