The news just reached me.  I though of Isaac this past Holocaust Memorial Day and asked my cousin in L.A. if he had news of him.  He told me he passed away.

Isaac did not live far from me when I lived in West L.A. near Sawtelle and Pico.  Every Wednesday night a couple of us Greek speakers would gather at Tommy's Burgers.  Isaac always wore a long sleeved shirt when we got together.

One day the opening of the left sleeve placket of his shirt revealed a tatoo.  I asked him is that what I think it is?  So he told me the story of how he wound up in Auschwitz and about the day the Jews of Thessaloniki were rounded up.

Isaac was a humble man and I looked forward to our weekly meetings.  He was a Greek Jew and a Greek Army veteran.  I left L.A. in 2001 and lost track of him, but I still tell the story he told me.

For some reason I thought he was my Mother's age.  But he was ten years older.  I hope I have the right Isaac.  I am pretty sure I do because there is a Haskia Termin listed at Auschwitz. Perhaps a member of his family?

Anyway, I am privileged to have known him.  May his Memory be eternal.
