Alexandr Rozenfeld
This is my uncle Alexandr Rozenfeld. The photo was taken around 1935 in Moscow. My father had five brothers, he was the oldest of all children. The boys studied in cheder and were raised religiously, but they got under the influence of revolutionary ideas and became atheists. Alexandr Rozenfeld was born in 1895/6. We called him Uncle Sasha. I don't know his Jewish name. He finished financial college in Rostov and worked there as chief of the financial department. Alexandr was arrested in 1938 and perished in Stalin's prisons [during the Great Terror]. In the middle of the 1950s his wife Tamara received documents about the posthumous rehabilitation of her husband.
