A mother accompanying her daughter and a father accompanying his son allegedly had an extramarital affair.
A mother accompanied her daughter and a father accompanied his son on a school trip to Poland, but the conversations between the parents at the hotel, lasting well into the night, were not just about Holocaust history.
The trips that young Israelis often take to the concentration camps in Poland have become a kind of rite of passage. There is hardly a young man or woman in the country who has not had the special experience of joining a school delegation to learn about the horror that European Jews went through on Polish soil during World War II.
These trips are usually accompanied by quite a few parents and school representatives who help the teachers and with the organization of the trip.
However, an accompanying father and mother organized extracurricular activities for themselves. The parents did not know each other before the trip to Poland. They began a relationship in Poland during the trip, according to statements given by the father to his lawyers Oren and Sharin Solan.
“Mostly, we talked a lot, we were next to each other and it was fascinating. At night when the commotion calmed down, we got closer and I also felt that there was chemistry and understanding between us, but there was nothing romantic,” he said.
The husband told the lawyers that there was no romantic relationship between them, even a month after their return. “We started talking by chance because we both had a Rolex watch on our hands,” he said.
The fallout of the affair
“The hardest confrontation is with the children, but I can’t go back to my wife.”
The relationship that began in Poland became very intense, claims the man’s wife, and the father admitted that there was no longer any point in continuing his marriage.
“The hardest confrontation is with the children, but I can’t go back to my wife,” he said.
His estranged wife claims that the responsibility, in this case, belongs entirely to the teacher of her son’s class who did not supervise or prevent the development of such a relationship.
The woman claims that despite what happened to her husband in Poland, she still asks for peace at home. The lawyers made it clear that both spouses must begin a dispute settlement procedure.
