It was, most probably, at this point in time that my grandfather, not having any news from Poland and believing that his wife and daughter were no longer alive, was contemplating the possibility of settling in Palestine. In the archives of the Jewish Agency I found a request for an immigration visa to Palestine (the so-called “certificate”) submitted on his behalf on 28 August 1945 by Jacob Klotz, a cousin living in Tel Aviv. His address at that time: 44 Salman Pacha Str., Cairo (c/o Katz).
