PROVENANCE
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 USSR, where he took part in the fights for the liberation of Bessarabia. In 1943 he was wounded and declared a war invalid. He ignored this situation and continued to go to the front. In 1944 he was captured and sent to the Wosnesensk camp on Bug, from where, together with three other comrades, he escaped and arrived in the country where he was arrested by 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 the office of Istrate Micescu and then in the office of Ion Valjan. In 1951, as a defense lawyer in the Zionists' trial in Bucharest, he was arrested by the regime's Security. 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 from the government of the Federal Republic of Germany for judicial merits. In 1990 he founded the cultural association for Romania-Israel Friendship. In 1996, the presidency of Romania awarded him the "Second World War commemorative cross" for military services brought to the Romanian state.
