94609 Translation - Tombstone

7/28/2021 12:08 PM I believe this to be the grave stone of Martin Lichtbraun, who died 13 December 1973 according to cemetery records. But only the surname is in Latin characters. Does the Hebrew confirm this or provide any additional, genealogically relevant information? Does it give the Hebrew date of death? If so, what is it? View the post with its 2 responses

94606 Photo Identification

7/28/2021 12:07 PM I am interested in finding the identity of the person in the photo. My great grandmother (born in Slutsk, Belarus) had this photo in her albums, but unfortunately, passed away in 2005, so I am unable to ask her for the source of the photo.
If you know who this is, please send me an email at yehudazevrubin@gmail.com .
