Samuil-Alexander Rabinovich
This is my uncle Samuil-Alexander Rabinovich. The photo was taken in Kraslava in 1941. Father's parents, Moisei and Masha, got married under a chuppah, I think. They lived in Kraslava. Father, the first son, was born in 1911. He was named in honor of grandfather's brother. In 1923, their second son Samuil-Alexander was born. At that time, educated people didn't want to emphasize their Jewish roots, so he was named Alexander. He finished a secondary school in Kraslava. Moisei, Masha and their son Samuil Alexander were killed in 1941.
