One WikiAnswers writer added this:

At least two of the men (the second and third from the right) are Hungarian. The third man from the right is Louis Friedman who was 28 at the time this picture was taken. Louis identified himself in this picture in the 1980's. Mr. Friedman identified the second person from the right as his brother.
