The snapshot shows Masza’s son, Norbert (front, center), with friends before September 1939. Masza, Norbert, and her husband, Abraham, survived the war and the Holocaust. After a long flight that took them across the border to Lithuania, then via the Trans-Siberian Railroad to Japan, the family remained in Shanghai as refugees during the war.
