He never saw his relations again, but they sent him family photos from the 1922-1928 period, all of which are signed on the back (in Russian of course). There is one from 1928 of his mother and niece with a man identified as B. S. Berenshtam. Do you, possibly, know who he was? I thought you might, on a off chance, be able to shed some light on this."
