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, Literature and Philosophy. At the end of 1940 he was sent to the eastern front against the USSR, where he took part in the battles for the liberation of Bessarabia. In 1943 he was wounded and declared a war invalid. He ignored this situation and continued on the front. In 1944 he was captured and sent to the Wosnesensk camp on the Bug, from where, along with three other comrades, he escaped and arrived in the 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 his trial and he was released. As a trainee lawyer, he worked in Istrate Micescu's office and then in Ion Valjan's office. In 1951, being a defense lawyer in the trial of the Zionists in Bucharest, he was arrested by the Security of the regime. After a long investigation, he was sent to the labor camp at the Danube-Black Sea Canal, from where he was released in 1954. After his release, he resumed his legal activities and in 1972 received the "Das Verdist Kreuz" decoration from the government of the Federal Republic of Germany for his legal merits. In 1990 he founded the Cultural Friendship Association Romania-Israel. In 1996, the Romanian Presidency awarded him the "Commemorative Cross of the Second World War" for military services to the Romanian state.
