Accompanied by his wife Sa'adia (isn't that a man's name? or is it pronounced differently?) and son Daoud. They left from Aden in January of 1929 on the way to Palestine. I wonder what happened to Aaron and his family, it's not that long ago and shouldn't be THAT difficult to trace. Why is he Dawood and his son Daoud, is that a different name? All that land from Aden to Palestine was under British Mandate/Protectorate then, so all they needed was one permit to travel all that distance.
Anyway, Aaron's permit Is up for auction. For 175 dollars it's yours.
