Grisha Okunev
This is the son of my husband's aunt Mary Okuneva. His name was Grisha. The photo was taken in Kaunas in 1939. Grisha was born in 1923. He was a talented violinist and lived in Kaunas, Lithuania. When the Germans occupied the town he and his brother escaped to avoid the ghetto and perished on their way under unknown circumstances.
