Two veterans of Kiliya

Two photos of the parents of the writer Yacov Botoshansky. They were born in Kiliya around 1855 to 1865. Abraham, the father, was a shoikhet (Jewish ritual slaughterer), and his mother, Leah née Levin.

A paragraph from Yacob Botoshansky's autobiography: From Kiliya to Buenos Aires (If you want it could be an introduction)

“Kiliya is a town in Southern Bessarabia on the banks of the Danube. The author of this novel was born and grew up there. He spent his childhood there, and then he went to Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. He lived there more than 30 years of his life.”
