Ruhla Butnaru, Iancu Meer, Simon Meer and Slomo Meer

Here I am, Simon Meer, the third from the right with my aunt, Ruhla Butnaru, who is the third from the left and my brother Iacov’s family.

Iacov is the second one from the left with his wife which is the second from the right an their children.

The little girl in the front I remember calling her Sarola Meer.

This picture was taken in Israel, 1969, when I was visiting them in Rehovot.
