a family portrait
Our Daily Topic - Vintage
right to left: my grandmother Pearla, my uncle Maximilian (Mordekhai), my grandfather Ruben, and my mother Dora (Deborah). my mother was born on 1943, so i'm guessing this photo was taken around 1950. i have a 7 years old nephew that looks a lot like my uncle in this photo...when i was a kid i looked a lot like my mom does here, but now i look more like my father... that's kinda weird.
anyway, i really love this photo. my grandparents were so beautiful, like movie stars from the 50's. Ruben died when i was 3 years old, so i didn't get to know him at all. he was a tailor, and on WWII he was forced to sew uniforms for the Red Army's soldiers, and that's what actually saved him and the rest of the family from the Nazis.
my mother loves to tell me, over and over again, about her father's pay-day - they would wear their fancy clothes and go to a fancy restaurant just to celebrate this day. this photo was taken on a day like that.
** a lot has been goin' on in my life lately, and now the final exams period is starting and i really want some good grades, so i'm gonna try to stay away from the internet for a while and focus on studying for a change. i'm not sure i'll be strong enough LOL. i'm too addicted to Flickr and Facebook...but i'll do my best. **
