He married Salka Meisels (born on January 1

st, 1940, they arrived in Buenos Aires via ship), he had to work and couldn't continue his studies. His daughter Lucia was born on June 18
th, 1940, in Buenos Aires.
Together with his wife (and later with the help of his daughter) he had worked as a manufacturer of baby clothes. According to an information from his daughter, he always regreted that he never had the chance to finish his studies.
