Three Generations
My Great-Grandmother, Nina, received permission to leave Soviet Russia to visit her new grandchildren. As far as I know, this is the only time Nina saw my Dad and his twin sister, Jonė, and it is the last time Nina was with her daughter, Tatjana:
Radviliškis, Lithuania, 1923. On the left, Jonė sits on the lap of my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana, and on the right, my Great-Grandmother holds my Dad. This snapshot probably was taken on the same day as this photo. Dad is still wearing those cute booties.
