Wolf Zaltzberg

This is my mother's brother Wolf Zaltzberg. This photo was taken in Odessa in the 1910s. He finished the private grammar school of Maliarov in Odessa and studied at the Medical Faculty of Novorossiysk University [since 1919 Odessa University]. When World War I began he went to the front. He was shell-shocked and got in captivity. He returned home in 1918. Sometime afterwards he became epileptic. This was a consequence of the shell shock. Uncle Wolf was a doctor. He was single, although he was handsome and a big success with women. He believed he didn't have the right to marriage due to his illness. Wolf died in evacuation in Tashkent in 1942.
