Alexander, Emiliya's nephew in front of the Wailing Wall.

In this photograph is my nephew Alexander Maron, Bronislava's younger son and the great-grandson of Borukh Kosoi who was killed in the pogrom of 1922.  He is standing amongst friends (he is in the middle, second from the left) in front of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.  Alexander is an engineer-builder by specialty.  He lived in the city of Ust-Kammenogorsk in Kazakhstan.  In 1996 he and his wife emigrated to Israel.  His daughter Natasha served in the ranks of the Israeli army.  The family now live in the city of Haifa.
