The Eyes of the Past

The Yesovitch Family, taken shortly before leaving Mogilev Podolsk, Ukraine.

Virtually every Jew has a picture of his ancestors in his home . . .
The bearded Zaidies and tichel'd Bubbies of yore.
Their solemn eyes staring blankly on their descendants -people's whose lives seem to be of the stuff of fiction and myth . . .

Perhaps the feeling is mutual, just as they could never envision our lives, can we see theirs?
What would they say if they could speak?

The Lightstone Family, shortly after arriving in Montreal, Canada.
