Shlomo Joffe, Lithuania, 1935

A picture of Shlomo Joffe -- a maternal cousin of my grandmother Riva-Rachel (Orelowitz) Rachowitz. Shlomo had bestowed this picture upon the Rachowitz family in February 1936, before he emigrated to Eretz Israel (on March 18, 1936). In 1939 he joined kibbutz Ramat Yohanan (please visit my Memorial Page for more details).

Rokiškis (Lithuania), May 1932

A picture (by courtesy of Bertha Orelowitz) taken of my father, wrapped around the neck of his maternal grandmother Bassia Devorah (Joffe) Orelowitz (died in April 1939)
