Izyk Ascher:
Bonjour Meir Levy,
Hace unas semanas (Junio 2012) te conocí en la sinagoga y usted me dijo que habia minian en ultimo Purim. Haciendo investigación sobre LOS JUDIOS DE RODAS … Me caí en esta imagen !!!
The author of this message is Izyk Ascher who used to live in Lubumbashi (Katanga – Congo) between 1957 to 1972 passed through there last June 2012 on the way to Kalemie (ex Albertville) where the first shop of the Hasson Family (built in 1930) is still there to see.

Susan E. Hasson:
Hello from Seattle. I am the daughter of Rafaelle B. Hasson, son of Sarota (Benveniste) and Bohor Hasson. My father was born in Rhodes in 1920, and immigrated to Portland, Oregon, USA, in 1940. My parents,
Ralph & Louise travelled to Cape Town in 1975, visiting Albert Hasson from Lubumbashi. I have letters written by Albert to my father from 1975. I believe Albert is my father’s Uncle. If someone can send me his address, phone number, and email for Albert or for the names of his children, I would be so greatful. The last address I have for Albert Hasson was Boite Postale 440, Elizabethville, Lubumbashi, Rep.du Congo.
I am in the process of writing a book about my father. I am considering making a trip to South Africa to meet the community and any of his friends from Rhodes who are still living. I know he visited Haim & Sarah Menasche in 1975, and Fortunee and her husband Naim came to visit our family in Seattle, Washington in 1963.
I realize much time has passed, however, now that I am writing a book, all my research uncovers many wonderful memories of stories my father told us of the wonderful life in Rhodes he so cherished. I hope someone from the community can answer my letter. My email address is: surehappy1@aol.com
I have had the pleasure to meet Albert Almelch from Brussels and his wife Sheila in 1998, during my first visit to Brussels. My father and Albert were good friends growing up in Rhodes.
Any contact would be greatly appreciated……Toda mi affection. Susan E. Hasson – Seattle, WA., USA
