My mother's friend Rasa Dudak. This photo was taken in Jonava in the 1920s.
Rasa Dudak married my father's second cousin Shmuel Dudak. When the Great Patriotic War began, Shmuel ran away with the Communists leaving his wife Rasa and their children behind. They perished during the occupation, and Shmuel held some important position in Vilnius after the war. Our family didn't have any contact with him.
