Wedding guests: the Leibovici and Manas couples with Fany and Tili Schwartz

This photograph was taken in Bucharest in 1956 at the wedding of a cousin from my father's side, Izu Davidsohn. The first from the left is my aunt, Fany Schwartz - and also our sponsor at the wedding -, the second from the left is me, Ietti Leibovici, the third is my husband, Iosef Leibovici; next to my husband, on the right, is my aunt's daughter, Tili Schwartz - which is to say her name was Schwartz before she got married, her married name is Anavi -, to her right is my cousin, Anuta Manas, and her husband, Iosi Manas.

My father-in-law had a sister, her name was Fany Schwartz. She lived in Botosani, too; also, she was our wedding sponsor as well. [Editor's note: Mrs. Leibovici is referring to her as her aunt.] My aunt's daughter, whose name is Tili Schwartz - which is to say her name was Schwartz before she got married, her married name is Anavi - went to study in Bucharest, was appointed to work in Onesti, and they emigrated to Israel afterwards. She got married in Israel.

The grandparents from my father's side had 7 children: my father, David Davidsohn, was the eldest, followed by Buium, then Lotti, Clara, Ana, Zalman, and Lica who was the youngest of the children. None of them is still living at present, but there are their children, their grandchildren, and they are all living in Israel.

Buium Davidsohn was a butcher. He lived in Botosani. His wife's name was Adela and they had 3 children: Anuta, Celu and Izu. They were older than me. Iosi Manas was Anuta's husband. They lived in Burdujeni, Suceava. [Ed. note: At present, Burdujeni is a neighborhood of the city of Suceava.] Izu Davidsohn got married in Bucharest in 1956 - I attended his wedding, this is the pictur of it. My uncle died in Botosani around 1961, I believe, and she emigrated to Israel with Anuta. The 2 boys emigrated before they did. Anuta is still alive, the other 2 are dead.
