Peres was born in 1923 in Weiniawa, Poland (now Vishniev, Belarus).  When he was eleven, Peres immigrated with his family to Palestine, where he later spent his youth growing up in Tel Aviv.

In honor of his 90th birthday, IsraCast would like to share a few historical photos documenting some of Peres’s “stops along the way” in life, including spending his 70th birthday, just 20 short years ago, with us here at the Avi Yaffe Jerusalem Recording Studios, home of IsraCast.
