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 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 taken prisoner and was sent to the Wosnesensk camp on Bug, from where, together with three other comrades, he escaped and returned to the country where he was arrested by the Soviet occupation troops, for desertion. However, the military prosecutor's office found that there was no legal basis for his prosecution 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 Zionists' trial 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 activity and in 1972 received the "Das Verdist Kreuz" decoration for legal merits from the government of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 1990 he established 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 provided to the Romanian state.
