Dina Villerman and her husband

This is my sister, Dina Villerman, and her husband (first name unknown) Villerman. This photo was taken in Kishinev in 1939. My sister Dina was born in 1914. She completed elementary school and four years of secondary school. Since my father couldn't afford to pay for her further education, Dina was sent to ORT. It was a Jewish organization where children from poor families studied different professions. Dina studied sewing. Dina became a dressmaker after finishing sewing school. She did very well and very soon she had her own circle of customers. She earned well. She also helped my mother a lot with running the house. In 1939 Dina got married. She had a big wedding party with a chuppah and a rabbi. Unfortunately, I can't remember her husband's first name. His last name was Villerman. Dina and her husband perished during evacuation in World War II.
