Itsik Margolis with wife Libe-Leya and cousin Abram Kopelovich

This is me with my wife Libe-Leya and my cousin Abram Kopelovich in our home in Riga. The photo was taken in 1995. When I was a young guy, I visited my relatives several times when I was on holiday or during the summer vacation. I had no one left ? neither father nor mother. At first I went to see Sonya in Rezekne, then I went to Daugavpils for holiday. My maternal uncle Moisei lived in Daugavpils. My relatives supported me financially while I was on vacations. I spent most of the time in Riga in the family of my cousin Zelik Kopelovich, now I am more connected with my cousin Abram Kopelovich.
