Lidia Korotina's aunt Sima (Serafima) Korotina

This is my aunt Sima (Serafima) Korotina, captain in the medical service. The photo was made in Panavezys, on February 5, 1945.

Sima, my father's younger sister, was our grandfather's favorite. She became an excellent doctor after graduating from the Odessa Medical University and served in the army as captain in the medical service. She didn't have a family of her own and took care of my grandmother, who died in 1943 in evacuation, in the village of Tikhoretskaya.
