My mother, Aunt Tunya, and me relaxing in Zheleznovodsk in 1933. My mother is sitting on the left, and I'm next to her. The lady in the checkered dress is my mother's sister Tatiana Vodotiyevskaya (nee - Eidelman).
My grandparents had four daughters and a son. The eldest daughter and the son died as babies from scarlet fever; I don't even know their names. Three daughters survived: Tatiana, who was born in 1902, my mother, who was born in 1904, and Maria, who was born in 1913.
