 Colonel Alex Orly (ret' 30 years ago).
born in Poland and survived the Nazi's Holocaust.
His parents were killed by the Nazi's.
arrived to Israel in 1947 (11 years old) in the immigrant ship "Exodus".

I met him during a work I did in his house..was fascinated from his life story. (and we share the same love to Remy Martin:))

Looks like he is relating stories of his past adventures. When he paused for effect, you snapped his pic. Great environmental portrait!
