Silvia Ucko Portrait

Silvia Ucko, ca.1950

Most of these photos came to us from
the estate of their granddaughter Silvia Ucko.
We identify the source of photos that are not from Silvia.
We have cleaned the photos and reset the colour of most photos
to black & white; and identify estimated dates with circa (ca.).
ALL corrections are welcome! (Peter at Benitz dot com)

The photos are grouped by decade:
  ♦ 1870-1899   ♦ 1930-1939
  ♦ 1900-1909   ♦ 1940-1949
  ♦ 1910-1919   ♦ 1950-1999
