Lb 85
Leo Borenstein was one of eight siblings. His family moved to Vienna where he met his wife Dora and married in 1936. Leo’s mother passed away before the war began. He realized it was time to leave Europe, but his father did not want to leave. Leo’s brothers were all in the States. His sister left Vienna for Palestine, but their ship was turned back, and she ended up in a camp where she perished. Leo’s life was difficult, never really achieving great success, which he wanted for his family. He had a law degree from Europe, but he was not able to make use of that in the States. Leo passed away in 1988 at the age of 85.
