Elena Žižienė & Vytautas Žižis/Žižys with Kabaila family, 1940.

@ the Kabaila property near Gumbučiai: Adolfina (holding chain of alsatian who i think was called Sargis ("guard")); Algis (commandeered into the wehrmacht four years later); Pranas (my grandfather managed to survive the soviet era despite his past as a colonel); Elena & Vytautas (mum & dad married 23/7/40); Vytenis (holding small dog). Algis also migrated to Australia after the war, and brother and sister reunited, with their own families, first in Melbourne and then in Sydney. here they are in australia flic.kr/p/8Nt2dy and flic.kr/p/8NpWgg. Algis became an engineer and ultimately a university professor: see @ flic.kr/p/8Nt5bY. to return to "Elena Žižienė in Panemunė, winter 1942/43." go to flic.kr/p/8NaqnE
