Ethel & Louise and their kids - July 1944

 

Left to right: Louise Selmonsky Mintzes with Vivian Mintzes on her lap, Ann Mintzes, Bill Jaker, Bette Jaker on Ethel Selmonsky Jaker’s lap.

 

A story from Peter:

Like Louise, Ethel learned to play one piece on the piano.

Ethel’s song was “Rustles of Spring” by Christian August Sinding.  Presumably she selected it before Sinding joined the Nazi Party in 1941.
