David-Abraham Beinissovich
Usdin, one of my Grandfather's brothers, was born in Vishki in 1896.
In 1925 he emigrated to Palestinia .
There he was supported by his lover but decided secretly to emigrate to Peru. On the way to Cherbourg ( a french port on the atlantic ocean) he stopped in Paris to meet my grand parents and stayed there several days.This was in the 1930ies.
David-Abraham went on a ship to Peru, but his lover followed him and shot him.
I don't have anymore information as I couldn't find the name of the ship. In the 1897 census David Abraham was the last son. After him a son was born in 1902, Khaim.
Today, October 5, 2011, I received a letter from the Central Zionist Archives.
David- Abraham Usdin arrived to Palestine by boat on July 22, 1925.
