Remembering Dr. Dawid GOLDREICH and his wife and daughter

Today  I was looking through two Polish medical directories for the years 1936 and 1938 on  the incredible website  www.genealogyindexer.org 

For Lubaczow , for both 1936 and 1938, I found Dr. Dawid Goldreich who in 1938 lived on Rynek 8. He was born in 1893, and had finished his medical studies in 1926.

Was he married? Did he have children?
Had he  escaped Europe in time?

From Yad Vashem's website I learnt that he, as a Jewish physician, had to fill in a questionnaire to the Germans during the period 1940 and 1942. He was then living in Rynek 5 (mistake for 8?) in Lubaczow, he was married, and his wife's maiden name was Stein.

A Page of Testimony submitted in 1957 by Dawid Goldreich's brother Shmuel Goldreich  shows that Dawid Goldreich was born in Turka, was married to Ester nee Stein  and they had one child - a daughter named Halina - born around 1930, and that they were murdered in Lubaczow in 1943.

Pages of Testimony submitted by Bluma (Pess or Pass?) nee Stein, the sister-in-law of Dr. Dawid Goldreich, show that Ester Erna Stein Goldreich was born in Rymanow in 1906 and  that their daughter Lusa was born in Sanok in 1932 and that the three of them had been murdered in Holocaust.

In a Dziennik Urzedowy number 2 for the year 1928,  Dr. Dawid GOLDREICH is listed as a medical doctor in Sanok. (Published by the Jagiellionian Digital Library).


Remembering  
Dr. Dawid Goldreich, 
his wife Ester Erna Goldreich nee Stein 
and their daughter Halina Lusa Goldreich.
