Irving Kleinmann and cousins in the USA

This is an old photo, taken right after my brother Irving Kleinmann (first from right) went to America. On the photo there's also his cousins Friedman.

My brother Nabel Kleinmann was born in 1900. In 1929 he went to America and worked as a servant. There he changed his name to Irving. He worked as a manager after World War II. He was married to Ester Kleinmann, who was born in New York in 1912. She died in 1999 in Florida. Irving died from Parkinson's Disease in 1986, also in Florida.

The cousins family name is Friedman. One of them was born in 1899 in Breznica and became a successful businessman in the USA. He owned some hotels and died in New York in 1988. The photo was taken 70 years ago.
