Leaning in behind Einstein to speak with him is the National Chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, William Rosenwald. United Service for New Americans, an agency of the UJA, brought the children to the United States. Einstein's distant cousin, Elizabeth Kerzek (far left), is among the group. The cousins had not met before. The name of the girl seated on Einstein's lap is Leonora Aragones and Victoria Lustig is in the first row (third from left). Einstein's dog, Chico, is also in this photograph. The others featured in this photograph have not been identified. Newspaper accounts of the occasion feature different images from the visit and credit the photographs to various sources, most often news agencies.
