Old Oak tree of Chortitza

This is a photo of the Old Oak [Chortitza oak] as it looked years ago when well-built Mennonite homes still surrounded it, and when generations of Mennonites grew up in the shade of the tree or, at times, in its branches. [HR 50].

The photo was taken by Rudolph Zaft. In the photo is his wife Olga Zaft. She is holding daughter Lilly Zaft (b. 1936). The boy in the tree is Paul Hahn. Sitting is daughter Ida Zaft and standing by the pol is son Arthur Zaft.

Zaft, Rudolph
