Resemblance

 

Vilnius, Lithuania, about 1930. When I first looked at this photo, I thought it was an image of my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana. The woman has similar eyes. She's a relative of Suzanne, the wife of my Dad's older cousin, Henry.

Thanks to my Kaunas Cousin for making this photo available to us.

Just as the purges were starting.

Good Lord, look at those eyes. Even in pictures of people on the Oregon trail or working a homestead in Kansas, you didn't see people haunted like that.

Makes you appreciate this place, screwed up as it is right now.

Yes, the eyes are haunting.
