After a research of some years, I have been able to identify Heinrich Pohorylle (Gerda Taro´s father), Hans Pohorylle (Gerda Taro´s younger brother), Oskar Pohorylle (Gerda Taro´s elder brother), Louis Aragon (Director of Ce Soir) in a photograph published in the French newspeper Ce Soir and made next to the coffin with Gerda Taro´s body, while it is lowered from a train at the gare d´Austerlitz Station on July 30, 1937 :
- Heinrich Pohorylle (also known as Hersch Pohorylle), Gerda Taro´s father, born on December 12, 1876 in Husyatyn, district of Husyatyns´kyi, Oblast of Tarnopol (Ukraine), is the 61 years old man with white hair and wearing glasses who appears in the middle of the photograph.
- On his left, such as is seen in the photograph, appears his son Karl Pohorylle, born on July 5, 1914 in Husyatyn, district of Chemerovets´kyi, Oblast of Khme´nyts´ka, and who is Gerda Taro´s younger brother, being 23 years old.
- On the right of Heinrich Pohorylle, such as is seen in the photograph, appears Robert Capa, born on October 22, 1913 in Budapest (Hungary) and being 23 years old.
- On the right of Robert Capa, such as is seen in the photograph, appears Oskar Pohorylle, born on September 3, 1912 in Lviv, Oblast of Lviv (Ukraine), who is Gerda Taro´s elder brother and only a month to be 25 years old.
