This is my mother Berta Ribush's brother, Abram Ribush. The photo was taken in Pskov in the 1920s.
I don't know anything about Uncle Abram's destiny. As a child I heard that he converted to Christianity and was turned out of his parents' house. I was shocked when I heard that but I was too shy to ask about the details. After that he sort of became a member of the Communist Party. I never heard anything about him later.
