Semyon Goldwar’s great-grandmother Khona Rabinovich

Report an issue
My great-grandmother, Khona Rabinovich, the mother of my maternal grandfather Isai Rabinovich. The photo was taken in Odessa in the 1890s. My great-grandmother was born in Odessa. She didn't wear a wig or a shawl from what I remember. On an old photograph she has a nice hair-do. She lived with her daughter Revekka Dvorkina in a two-storied building, their apartment was on the 2nd floor. My great-grandmother loved me dearly and spoiled me a lot. She brought me candy when she was visiting us. During the Great Patriotic War she was over 80 and couldn't evacuate and was left in care of her neighbors and my grandmother Bertha. I don't know how she perished.
