Overview

Caption: A group of Jews is gathered at an assembly point in the Kovno ghetto during a deportation action.

[Though the photo seems to be part of the series of the deportation to Estonia, the family has been identified as the Ipp family who were sent to Riga. Among those pictured may be Jacob Ipp (now Ipson, the boy standing on the left, behind the barbed wire fence), his mother, Etta (Butrimowitz) Ipp (standing behind him), and Chananya Butrimowitz (Etta's father, carrying a backpack).]
