Yizkor list from 1954: BERGER

Hebrew:
'ברגר, לאה'צה ומשפ

English transcription:

BERGER Lea'che and family

Possible versions of how the name was written back in Lubaczow:

BERGER  Lea / Leja  /  Lej'che / Lejcze


In this case, there seems to be no PAGE of Testimony submitted by relatives, but community member M. Lerer wrote that Lejcze BERGER was around 65 years old in 1942, a widow with two daughters and a son, with a grocery store.

Rechecking this information carefully, here is my present theory:

There was a couple  in Lubaczow named Feiwel BERGER and Reizla nee SALZBERG. Feiwel was born around 1885 and  died in 1927.

If Reizla did not remarry after 1927, Reizla BERGER would have been a widow . Did she have a grocery store? I have found no listings for a grocery store run in Lubaczow by BERGER or SALZBERG.

Reizla BERGER nee SALZBERG may have been around 65 years old in 1941/1942.

One of  Reizla and Fajwel's daughters was named Leja BERGER, born 1911.

Could community member M. Lerer have mixed up the names of the mother and the daughter?
