PROVENANCE
Constantin Vișinescu was born in 1920 in Constanţa. Between 1930-1937 he attended the courses of the ”Gheorghe Lazăr” College in Bucharest, and in 1938 he was admitted to two faculties: Law, Letters and Philosophy. At the end of the year 1940 he was sent to the eastern front against the USSR, where he participated in the battles for the liberation of Bessarabia. In 1943 he was wounded and declared a war invalid. Ignoring this situation, he continued on the front. In 1944 he was taken prisoner and sent to the Wosnesensk on the Bug camp, where, together with three other comrades, he escaped and returned to his country where he was arrested by the Soviet occupation troops for desertion. The military prosecutor's office, however, found that there was no legal basis for prosecuting him, and he was released. As a trainee lawyer, he worked in Istrate Micescu's office and then in Ion Valjan's office. In 1951, as a defence lawyer in the trial of the Zionists in Bucharest, he was arrested by the regime's security. After a long inquiry, he was sent to the labor camp at the Danube - Black Sea Canal, where he was released in 1954. After his release he resumed his legal activity and in 1972 the government of the Federal Republic of Germany awarded him the "Das Verdist Kreuz" decoration for legal merits. In 1990 he founded the Romanian-Israel Friendship Cultural Association. In 1996, the Romanian Presidency awarded him the "Commemorative Cross of the Second World War" for military services rendered to the Romanian state.
