Here is a photo of me and my Korotin cousins. Upper row, from left to right: I, Lidia Matveyevna Korotina, Boris Lazarevich Barskiy (aunt Bertha's son), Mary Isakovna Korotina. Lower row: Valentin Isakovich, Yefim Moiseyevich, Yefim Iosifovich, Anna Iosifovna, Avenir Isaakovich. The photo was taken in Kharkov in 1974.
My grandparents had five sons and two daughters: Yefrem, my father Matvey (I asked my grandfather once 'Why did you name him Matvey?' and he said it was really 'Mordukhay'), Basia, or Bertha (that's how she was called in the family), Isaak, Moisei and their younger daughter Fima.
