This is a picture of my cousin, Tube-Rekhl Rozhansky, the daughter of my father's sister Feige Rozhansky. The photo was taken in Faleshty in 1941, shortly before she and her family were killed by the fascists.
My paternal grandparents had three sons and a daughter. Motl was the oldest, he was born in 1897, my father, Wolf, in 1901, Zeilik in 1903 and Feige in 1905. The boys finished cheder. They studied crafts after they finished cheder. Feige was educated at home; her brothers and parents taught her mathematics and how to read and write in Yiddish.
Feige married Yekhil Rozhansky, a shoemaker. They had two daughters. I don't remember the older daughter's name. The younger one, Tube-Rekhl, and I were the same age. Feige, her husband and both daughters were shot by the fascists in Faleshty in 1941.
