The man in the above
photograph is
believed to be Yehudah Bekenstein, his wife, and his daughter,
name unknown, who emigrated to Argentina. The daughter was married
to a schochet, and was still alive in the early 1950s. Based on
the birth dates of the other siblings, who came to New York, this
photo was probably taken between 1900 and 1920. The family was
from the small shtetl of Wolpa, and the photo was taken in a
studio in Volkovysk. |
