		<description><![CDATA[I was thrilled to discover a dated message on the back of the photograph, since no names appeared in my grandmother&#8217;s album. The message, written in Russian, was a wish to be remembered. &#8220;To my dear friend R. Kipnis with his wife, from G. and E. Frein.&#8221; Whether the friends were leaving in January 1906 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I discovered this studio portrait in my grandmother&#8217;s album after my return from Kishinev. The photograph and a few others like it, all taken in Kishinev studios, made me understand how European and modern the milieu in which my grandparents lived had already become in the first decade of the twentieth century. If my grandfather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I returned to Chisinau one year later to revisit the places that had been important to me, but also a puzzle. There was so much about my grandparents&#8217; lives&#8211;what I had begun to imagine them to be&#8211;that eluded me. I returned to the Jewish Community Center, to resume my dialogue with Olga Sivac, the Center&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The photography studio where my grandparents (and my little uncle) had their portrait taken circa 1903. Maybe. The address on the back of the studio card, 13 Azatsky Street, now 93 Alexandru Cel Bun. Natasha and I visited the address, which now is a bridal shop. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Count Potofsky&#8217;s elegant estate, now a sanitarium, was the site of the Pechora camp called the &#8220;Death Loop.&#8221; Pechora, only eleven miles  from Bratslav, would surely have been my family&#8217;s destination, had they not left when they did, at the turn of the twentieth century. There was no way to integrate the images of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pilgrims visit the cemetery every year at the High Holidays to celebrate the legacy of Nachman of Bratslav and his disciple, Nathan of Bratslav, who is buried there.  Nachman himself is buried in a nearby village, Uman, which is the scene of major gatherings of Hasidim, notably at Rosh Hashanah. Despite the primacy of Unam, [...]]]></description>

When I try to imagine the lives of my great-grandparents and my grandfather in this tiny village, famous for its Hasidic culture, I turn for help to a literary landscape I know better, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of the houses in Bratslav still standing have been abandoned; the Jews have moved to Israel or elsewhere. According to the U.S. Federal Census of 1920, my great-grandmother, Sarah Kipnes, gave birth to nine children here, of which three survived. A waterman came around daily. My great-grandfather, Chaim Hirsch Kipnis, according to information on [...]]]></description>

Fima had given up on keeping Kosher, and I assured him that it didn&#8217;t matter to me; nevertheless, he insisted on donning the Jewish star for the photographs. When we sat down to eat, I [...]]]></description>
