Sofi Benaroya

This is my father's sister, my aunt Sofi Benaroya. The photo was taken on 22nd August 1927 in Constanza. As you can see here, she was very beautiful. We were very lonely. Only my aunt Sofi , who loved me very much, helped me. If it hadn't been for her, I would have never obtained even a secondary education. She was gassed in the death camps during the Holocaust.
