Wilson Co., 1997 ()〕 〔Jews in Twentieth-century Ireland: Refugees, Anti-semitism and the Holocaust, Dermot Keogh, Published by Cork University Press, 1998, ISBN 1-85918-150-3, ISBN 978-1-85918-150-8 ()〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Briscoe )〕 The original family name in Lithuania is believed to have been Cherrick.〔(JewishGen: The Home of Jewish Genealogy )〕 His brother Wolfe Tone Briscoe was named after Theobald Wolfe Tone, one of the leaders of the 1798 Rising.〔 Briscoe's father was the proprietor of Lawlor Briscoe, a furniture factory on Ormond Quay which made, refurbished, imported, exported and sold furniture, trading all over Ireland and abroad. Abraham Briscoe – known universally as Pappa – had arrived in Ireland penniless, and made his fortune through hard work and his charm as a salesman, first as a brush salesman, then of imported tea. He married Ida Yoedicke, daughter of a successful family in Frankfurt, who had left Lithuania and the racist Russian laws limiting Jews from success and a decent life, to live in the more liberal Germany.〔For the Life of Me by Robert Briscoe〕 Abraham and Ida had seven children; only two of their sons, Ben and Joe, remained in Dublin. Ben followed his father into politics, while Joe went into the army.〔 Joe Briscoe joined the army at age of 15 (claiming to be 18) in 1945. He retired in 1993 with the rank of Commandant.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Briscoe (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
