Chuck, the photo of my great-grandparents was part of my mother's stash
of family photos. It was probably taken in 1924, when my grandmother
took my 3 year-old mother from New York to Paris. It was the only time
my mother saw her grandparents. The photo may have come back with them
at the end of that trip. Or "Uncle Charlie" (the younger man on the
left) may have brought it back with him during his many back-and-forth
trips between Paris and New York before the war. In any case, the photo
was safely in America during the war/holocaust years, unlike my
great-grandparents.
I have other photos of that time, including a few that are candid rather
than stiffly posed. I know they are in one of the three big boxes of
photos, and I can't wait to find them again and scan them.

detail of the goings on in France that I never knew. Do you know how the
photo below managed to survive all the turmoil?
