In this book, in the first chapter, I wrote the story of my grandmother and her family, beginning in Turkey, Eskisehir, the Benforma coupleÕs family tree will eventually cover a much wider region including not only Ankara, Izmir and Istanbul but also Israel, Holland and the US.
In the second chapter, IÕll be providing a series of archival materials about the Jewish life in three cities: Eskisehir, Ankara and Izmir. These pages include documents that I gathered from the Internet and local press as well as the ones from my personal archive.
The third chapter will focus on my own autobiography: my own experiences as a long-term volunteer in the Izmir Jewish community including the daily notes that I have taken while serving the community. I see it as my responsibility to pass on these facts to the next generations ..
