ПРОИЗХОД

Constantin Vișinescu was born in 1920 in Constanța. 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 at the front. He was captured in 1944 and sent to the Wosnesensk on Bug camp, where, together with three other comrades, he escaped and reached the country where he was arrested by Soviet occupation troops for desertion. The military prosecutor's office, however, noted that there was no legal grounds 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, serving as a defense lawyer in the trial of the Zionists in Bucharest, he was arrested by the regime's Security service. After a long investigation, 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 receives from the government of the Federal Republic of Germany the decoration "Das Verdist Kreuz" for legal merits. In 1990 he founded the Cultural Association of Friendship Romania-Israel. In 1996, the Presidency of Romania awarded him "The Commemorative Cross of the Second World War" for military services to the Romanian state.
