Josef Gershon

This is a portrait of my uncle Josef Gershon, taken after he had left Bulgaria to live in Argentina. He came back after a few years to look for financial support from my father and left for good after that. He married a Christian woman in Argentina. The photograph was taken in Buenos Aires in 1932.
