- Administrative/biographical history:
- Samuel Oczakowski (1876-?) was originally from Moscow. He settled in Shanghai where he passed away. His family went to Palestine and later migrated to Europe. Isidore Oczakowski (1909-1976), the son of Samuel, studied at the Université du Travail in Tournai in the 1930s. He had three daughters from his marriage, in June 1940, with Hélène Helman. They found refuge in the south of France during the Second World War, where Isidore became a liaison for the network Resibel France. They returned to Belgium at the end of the war. Isidore Oczakowski established his own business in lingerie and hosiery. (Fonds Famille Oczakowski (BE / MJB / Fonds Famille Oczakowski); interview of A. Cherton (MJB) with Nadine Otchakovsky, January 2012.)
