Zinaida Leibovich's mother's brother Munya Altman

This is my mother's brother Munya Altman. This photograph was made in Kiev in September 1945. Munya, my mother's older brother, was born in 1909. He became a professional soldier. When World War II broke out in 1941 he held the rank of lieutenant and was sent to the front. He went through the whole war and finished it in as a major. His wife Fania and son Abrasha, who was born in 1938, stayed in Kamenets-Podolsk and were shot by the Germans in 1941. Their bodies were thrown into a sewer. After the war my uncle married a Jewish woman from Novograd-Volynskiy. They had a son named Roman who lives in Germany now. In 1946 Uncle Munya entered the Military Academy. After graduation he got an assignment in Murmansk. He lived there until his demobilization that took place in 1952. Then he returned to Novograd-Volynskiy, his wife's hometown. He died in 1968.
