This is my father's brother, Aron Averbukh. The photo was taken in Arkhangelsk in 1942.
My father came directly from the line of Baal Shem-Tov, in the sixth generation. His father, Avrum Arns Averbukh, was the father of three sons and three daughters. One of the sons - the youngest brother Aron - was a very famous doctor in Kiev. .
Father's younger brother, doctor Averbukh, was called up to the army and worked as the chief doctor of Sumy hospital. He had two daughters, who live in Kiev. Aron died in 1964.
