"That's Me In The Corner"


I just chanced upon this post. I was surprised that I didn't answer the questions of lavender garden and anonymous straight up. The photo was an erev Yom Kippur photo op for a tiny local paper.  They asked if someone could bring in a kittel and my mother was there when they asked, so I got the gig.  That's how my mom recalled it.  I had thought that I was simply chosen.  Also, the girl, Debbie Flaum, and I were close at the time.  Ah, Kindergarten.

Yes. She was a good teacher. her grand daughter told me that she was a survivor. And that she was friends with Rabbi Atik. Weird that she was probably so yound when she was our teacher, but seemed like an old adult at the time.
