My grandparents are the couple seated in the middle. We have a cousin who is still alive and she is in this picture. She is the one who confirmed that the photo was taken in the Rav’s house (Shapiro Kahana), which my father thought he remembered his mother mentioning but wasn’t sure. This cousin also mentioned that some of the Rav’s sons are in this picture as well. Do you know perhaps which sons would still have been in Kovno in December of 1939, when this picture was taken?
. My grandmother’s family goes back many generations therein Kaunas (Markus and Shapiro families but no relation to the Rav as far as I know). My great grandfather, Yechezkel Gershon, was a wagon driver who would drive all the rabbanim and roshei yeshiva around. He was called “Chatskel the Langer.” In fact, my uncle just told us a story. My great aunt was living in Boston before the war and the Rav came to the US to fundraise. She went to the event, even though no women were allowed in. She told the man at the door to tell the Rav that Chatskel the Langer’s daughter was here and the Rav came outside to greet her!

- The Virovitch family gathers at the Kovno train station to bid farewell to Abrasha Virovitch who was immigrating to Palestine. Abrasha was one of six children born to Malka Virovitch (pictured third from the left). His brothers were Salamon, Liova, Isaak and his sisters were Rebecca Giniene and Bertha Jurovitzki. The entire Virovitch family including Rebecca's two daughters Sara and Alice gathered to wish Abrasha well. In Palestine, Abrasha married Fania, and the two returned to Kovno in 1939 to pay the family a visit. Once the war started, he was unable to return to Palestine. He and his brothers, Salamon and Isaak, were murdered three days after the German invasion of Lithuania, June 23, 1941, when Lithuanian partisans entered the family's apartment, dragged out the men and shot them in the back yard. Abrasha's young wife, Fania, was killed during the liquidation of the Kovno ghetto, but their daughter, Tania, born in 1941 survived in hiding
