Opening of a show of paintings by Viktor Munk
Almost the entire family gathered at the opening of a show of paintings by my brother, Viktor Munk. Standing at the far left is my nephew Jiri Kovanic, the son of my sister, Helena Kovanicova. My sister is standing beside him on the right. Kneeling in the foreground, from the right, are Helena Kovanicova, Jiri Kovanic's daughter, along with her mother Zuzana. Behind them are my wife, Alena Munkova nee Synkova, and I. Between us you can see a lady with white, curly hair, the wife of my brother Viktor Munk - Jitka. Standing on the far right is Jitka's brother with his wife. The opening took place in the so-called winter prayer room of the Spanish Synagogue in Prague.
