Fira Rabinovich

Fira Rabinovich
This is my wife Fira Rabinovich, at the age of four. The photo was taken in Kiev in 1927. My wife was born into a respected Jewish family in 1923. Her father Saliman Rabinovich came from a big assimilated Jewish family. He came to Kiev from Riga. He was a big china specialist and worked in famous china factories. He met his wife Rosalia Ratmanskaya in 1911. He died of spotted fever in 1933. My wife didn't know Yiddish. Her father took her to the synagogue several times when she was a child.
