This is uncle Gersh Konstevoy, aunt Sonya's husband, my mother's sister.
He didn’t live a day without reading newspapers. His whole family was always very well informed about all events. He worked as a seller in a kerosene-store.
This photo was taken in Kherson in 1927.
Sonya and Gersh had four sons and they were all born in Kherson: Motya, Isaac, Iosif and Zalman.
After 1930 they all moved to Moscow. Actually, the whole Kontsevoy family left Kherson.
Their elder son Motya, married a native of Moscow, Rosa, a Jewess, and lived with his family in the suburbs, at Udelnaya station. They had two daughters, Valya and Sonya.
