Father
This album is from my father's bar mitzvah on June 14, 1975 - flag day.
All of the decorations were red, white and blue in honor of the holiday.
Great Grandmother's Necklace
Russia
My mother
My great grandmother's necklace was given to her on her wedding day by her mother. When she left Russia, valuable items were not permitted to go across the border, so she had to sew it into the hem of her dress. This significant necklace has been passed down through generations and it will later become my own!
This necklace was worn by my Great grandmother on her wedding day. This necklace is an important artifact because she was Jewish, and Jews were not allowed to leave Russia at that time. This necklace shows that she was brave!
