This is the grave of Rachel Zimmerman who died in 1917. Standing next to the grave is her daughter Shprintze Zimmerman. The identity of the man is unknown, but possibly he is Rachel's son. Information courtsey of Ruth Stern, daughter of Shprintze and granddaughter of Rachel. We don't know the date of the photo but it has to pre-date 1935, when Shprintze left Uzpaliai for Israel. |
Person and date are unknown |
