Jonas Goldstein

This photo was taken somewhere in Austria in the 1910s. Here you can see my mother's brother, my uncle Jonas Goldstein, as a soldier during World War I. Uncle Jonas, Joine in Yiddish, had a piano store in Berlin. His first wife died of the Spanish flu. He left Berlin with his second wife, Hella, and their children, Reuben and Dorit, after Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s and immigrated to Palestine. Joine died in the 1950s, Hella in the 1980s.
