the Geppert family and associates

Every picture tells a story, season 3, picture 19

Here's a rare group portrait reuniting all three kids from the Dörndorf bakery (Silesia) and their mother as well. But I have no idea who the other people are. Nor where the location is:

So we recognise first from left, young Willi Geppert, then his sisters Hedwig (third from left) and Emma (5th). Their mother Martha Stephan standing between the sisters. The guy on the right occurs in a few photos with Willi (eg here) but I have no idea who he is, could be a cousin? I'm assuming that the woman next to him and the three children are his family but that's just a guess.

As I noted before, Martha in the middle was quite short (147cm) so unless they propped her up, nobody in this photo is taller than 160 cm.

Should anybody have any answers to some of the many questions I am raising in this series, please leave a comment here (I'll need to vet it, so it may take a few days before it goes public) or contact me at michaelgrr [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk
