Irina Lidskaya's father Yakov Lidskiy
This is my father Yakov Lidskiy, in 2nd grade, wearing his school uniform. This photo was taken in Mariupol in 1911. Both sons in my father's family finished school. My father went to school in 1910. He was smart and it was easy for him to study. He and his brother Lev both studied music, too. My father played the piano well even in later years.
