Alte Katz poses with family members on the steps of her photo studio and pharmacy in Eyshishok's main square. Her arms are wrapped around her son Avigdor (left) and her grandson Yitzhak (right). Standing in front is Alte’s great-nephew Shaul.
In September 1941, German Einsatzkommando 3 and Lithuanian auxiliary forces shot and killed Alte, Avigdor, and Shaul. Yitzhak survived the Holocaust in hiding.
