Tuvja Smolenski's 50th birthday - 1963, Tallinn
|
In 1963 my [Rachel Zivjan] cousin Tevye Smolenski celebrated his 50th birthday in Tallinn. It was an unforgettable party at which all the relatives who then lived in Estonia came together. This photograph was taken during his anniversary celebration.
