Eva Medvinskaya

This is a picture of my grandmother's sister, Eva Medvinskaya, nee Galperina. The photo was taken in the photo studio of D. Markov in Kiev in 1904. My grandmother's sister Eva was born in 1880. I don't know where she was born. The family called her Havka. She was married to Iosif Medvinsky. She had a son. Her husband and son died from tuberculosis in the 1920s. She lived in Kiev until 1941. She gave German lessons to private students. She had an excellent command of German. From 1941 to 1944 she was in evacuation in Buzuluk, Orenburg region. After the war she returned to Kiev. She worked as a nurse at school and lived in a small room there. She died in 1961. I don't know whether she got married for a second time, or whether she had children.
