Pavel Potocky with his brother Asaf Auerbach

This is my brother and I, I'm sitting on the right, and the photo was most likely taken at Grandpa's cottage in Mokropsy. Grandpa called it Nasshunden and used to go there with Grandma on the weekends. There was only this little cottage there, I don't even know if you could sleep in it. I'd say that the relationship between my brother and me could be described as typical sibling rivalry. We quarreled, which is more or less normal, and so on. But otherwise we liked each other a lot. Ruben liked sports, whenever he did something, he did it very thoroughly. I don't remember much from this time of my early childhood when the photo was taken.
