Pepo and Rashel Finanzer
This photo was taken in Istanbul in 1950. You can see my mother's brother, my uncle Pepo Finanser, and his wife Rashel. Pepo Finanser was was in the wholesale textile business on commission, in Sirkeci, like his father. He was married to Rashel Tovi. They had a daughter, Esterika. They lived in Istanbul but emigrated to Israel towards the end of their lives. Pepo died there in 1971, as did his wife shortly after. Their daughter still lives in Israel.
