After the war Oscar and Fryda immigrated to Belgium and later to Israel. They came to Lexington, KY in 1980 to be with family. He is a member of the Ohavay Zion Synagogue. He is survived by a son, Henri Eduard (Jennifer) Haber, Riverbank, CA; two grandchildren Roy Joseph Haber, Lexington; Diane Haber (Timothy) Wickham, Cincinnati, OH; two great-grandchildren, Davis Benjamin Wickham and Lincoln Oskar Wickham.
