This is my uncle on my mother's side Aron Oks. This photo was made in the 1950s in Zhitomir where he came to visit my mother and grandfather.
My mother’s family came from Zhitomir. My grandparents had three children: my mother and two brothers, one older than my mother and one younger. My mother's brothers finished cheder. They grew up to be atheists. In the 1930s they joined the Communist Party. Aron, the older brother, born in 1902, dealt in trade. He was married, but divorced his wife. From Zhitomir Aron moved to Fastov where he worked at the railway station of Grebyonki and later in Nezhin. During the great Patriotic War Aron was in evacuation somewhere in Ural. His second wife's name was Olga, she was Russian. They didn't have any children. After the war Aron and Olga returned to Nezhin where Aron died in the middle 1960s.
