Frania Stuczynska and her family

This picture was taken about 1928, probably in Vilnius, where my aunt Frania Stuczynska (nee Pikielna) and her family lived. I don?t know who it was taken by. My father's sister Frania was born on 8th September 1894, and her married name was Stuczynska. She lived in Vilnius with her husband. They had a daughter, my age, called Lidia. She was probably born in Vilnius, on 15th December 1926. All of Frania's family was in the Vilnius ghetto, from where they were transferred to one of the camps in Lithuania and were killed there.
