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 1940 he is sent to the eastern front against the USSR, where he will take part in the battles for the liberation of Bessarabia. In 1943 he is wounded and declared a war invalid. He ignores this situation and continues on the front. In 1944 he was taken prisoner and sent to the Wosnesensk camp on Bug, from where, together with other three comrades, he escapes and arrives in the country where he is arrested by the Soviet occupation troops, for desertion. However, the military prosecutor's office finds that there is no legal basis for his prosecution and he is released. As a trainee lawyer he worked in the office of Istrate Micescu and then in the office of Ion Valjan. In 1951, as a defense attorney in the Zioni trial in Bucharest, he is arrested by the Security of the regime. After a long investigation, he is sent to the labor camp at the Danube-Black Sea Canal, from where he is released in 1954. After his release, he resumes his legal activity and in 1972 he receives the "Das Verdist Kreuz" decoration for legal merits from the government of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 1990 he founded the Romania-Israel Friendship Cultural Association. In 1996, the Presidency of Romania awarded him the "Commemorative Cross of the Second World War" for military services rendered to the Romanian state.
