Helena Kovanicova with relatives

This photograph was taken when my family and I were on a tour of Jewish heritage sites in 2003. We had just stopped in Trebic, where our son Jiri Kovanic took our picture, but also in about another five places, for example in Polna, a place that's connected with the famous Hilsneriade. Standing on the left is my brother Jiri Munk, my granddaughter Helena, my sister-in-law Alena Munkova, nee Synkova, my daughter-in-law Zuzana Kovanicova, and finally I.
