Note by Francis:
All of the photos on this page were taken during a visit Adolph made to Czernowitz in 1923 to visit his family there. He had recently moved to Vienna, after WWI. He would have been 26. I remember his telling me that he started balding at 24. In the top photo, Adolph’s mother Berta Mechner is sitting at the far left. The two women who flank Adolph are probably two of Berta’s sisters.
The second photo from the top shows Berta at the far right, presumably one of her sisters next, then Adolph, and the man may be Heinrich Brunwasser, Berta’s second husband (her first having died months before Adolph was born).
At the lower right is (clockwise) Adolph, Walter Brunwasser (Adolph’s half-brother), his father, Berta, and presumably one of her sisters.
At the lower left is a later photo of Adolph, then already in his thirties.
