This is my brother Ektor Iesoua Salvator Florentin, we call him Ektor. This picture was taken in Portaria in Pilio where we used to go on holiday in the summers. A professional photographer must have taken it in 1922. My brother is one year old and I haven't been born yet. It's nice to see how my father is holding my brother in the picture. Ektor left for Israel in 1943, he has lived there ever since with his wife and two children.
