Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there, most especially to my mother, who has always been my role model, and to my daughters, who gave me the best job in the world. Nothing gives me more joy than being their mother.
Here are the women in my direct maternal lines for whom I am fortunate enough to have photographs. Perhaps eventually I will be able to locate pictures of some of the others as well.
My mother and me
My grandmother with her two daughters, my Aunt Elaine and my mother
My great-grandmother Bessie Brotman
Ghitla Rosenzweig Goldschlager my great-grandmother
My grandmother Eva Schoenthal Cohen and her daughter, my Aunt Eva
My great-grandmother Hilda Katzenstein Schoenthal with her daughter Eva and her granddaughter Eva

Wonderful post Amy. I’m saving mine for June 14th – Mother’s Day in Luxembourg – as my direct matrilineal line goes back 8 generations in this country.
