Searching for the family of Leib (Yehuda Leib) HIRSCHEL and his wife Taube Riwe of Lubaczów. Taube Riwe had died before 1896.
Their son Aron (Asher Aharon) HIRSCHEL was born in Lubaczów in 1844. He became a tailor in Czernowitz, married Sara TRICHTER, and died there on 25 February 1914.
Aron's son Alex (Eliyahu) HIRSCHEL, born in Czernowitz in 1875, came to New York in 1902.
If you descend from them, or know anything about this family, please write to David Hirschel at davidhirschel@gmail.com
Pesia KRÄMERMAN nee BRUNNER (or BRYNER) died in 1915. Unfortunately I do not seem to have a photo of her gravestone on Row 20, Grave 49. Perhaps a visitor to the cemetery, can photograph this gravestone? Pesia's husband Gerschon Gerszon had died in 1932 and is buried at Row 2, Grave 8.
I have earlier noted that when Pesia died, she supposedly was 38 years old. This must be a mistake. It is more likely she was born between 1866 to 1871. Perhaps it was 1868?
I decided to recheck this family on Pages of Testimony from Yad Vashem, and decided to list information from a granddaughter of Pesia Pesel and Gerschon Gerszon.
Please correct me, if needed.
Josef KRÄMERMAN, born 1889, married to Rysia nee ABEND, six children (names remembered: Gittel b. 1914, Noach b.1915 , Judith b.1926, Reizel b. 1928)
Schlomo KRÄMERMAN, born 1892, married
Leibisch KRÄMERMAN, born 1895, married to Milka nee WEINBERGER, parents to Benjamin KRÄMERMAN
Rachel KRÄMERMAN, married KRÄMERMAN (or KRAMEISEN?), born 1895, married to Yankel Jankel KRÄMERMAN (or KRAMEISEN?), parents to five children (names remembered: Pesia and Jente Yente)
For this family, the names of at least five grandchildren are lost.
I have decided to list the names of those grandchildren whose names were remembered: Gittel born 1914, Noach born 1915 Judith born 1926 Reizel born 1928 Benjamin, year of birth not remembered Pesia, year of birth not remembered Jente, year of birth not remembered
Take into the consideration that the family name can be written:
KRÄMERMAN KRÄMERMANN
KRAMERMAN KRAMERMANN
KREMERMAN KREMERMANN
The family name means merchant or shopkeeper in English.
In Mlodow, next to Lubaczow, in the year 1931 four persons from one family was murdered:
Abraham Moses SEIFER born ca 1870
His wife Chana (Chuwa) SAUERBRUN born ca 1873
Their daughter Debora SEIFER born ca 1913
Their son Jakob SEIFER born ca 1915
The father and the son were buried together, under one gravestone.
I have not located the gravestone of the mother and the daughter.
Was this the whole family?
From the marriage register I found they had a son in 1890 they named Benjamin, who in 1920 had married Sara Lea SCHLAF, born in 1895. That means that Benjamin's mother was only around 17 when he was born. Because the gravestone says that Abraham Moses SEIFER's father was named Benjamin we understand that his father had died before 1890. Jakob's decoration is a broken tree, his father a bookcase with holy books.
I imagine that Abraham Moses and Sara Lea had married with a rabbi in 1895, perhaps in 1894.
The couple also had a son they named Dawid. He died as a one year old.
What happened to Benjamin and Sara Lea SEIFER?
Did they emigrate?
Did they have children?
What happened to the family during the Holocaust?
Information from Pages of Testimony.
Israel WINTER and his wife Malke WINTER nee BEGLIEBTER were both born around 1900.
Israel Winter was a merchant, but also a SOFER STAM - a scribe.
The couple had three children - Avraham (born ca 1927), Berl (born ca 1930) and Chana (born ca 1933)
From the Page of Testimony we learn that Israel's parents were Avraham and Rivka Rachel.
That means that the father of Israel, Avraham WINTER, had died before his grandson was born in 1927.
There was an additional WINTER family, that of a brother of Israel WINTER, named Selman WINTER.
Selman WINTER, born around 1864, was the son of Abraham and Rachel Lea WINTER. He died in 1919 at the age of 55.
Selman might have married two sisters - first Taube Mirla LEMPEL and then Sara LEMPEL.
With Taube Mirla LEMPEL he had his daughter Marjem WINTER in 1887.
Marjem WINTER married Jakob Samuel KOENIG r. GOTTLIEB in 1921.
Incredible, but true - Marjem had three sets of twins:
Taube Mirel and Chaja KOENIG were born in 1924.
Hersz Zysze and Salmon KOENIG were born in 1926.
Aron Nachmen and Szymon KOENIG were born in 1928.
Then they had a son named Moses KOENIG in 1930.
In 1892 he had married to Sara nee LEMPEL.
Selman had the following children with Sara:
1. Hene Rifka WINTER born in 1893.
Hene Rifka married Nuchim Izak STERNBERG in 1921.
This couple had at least these four children:
Rudzie STERNBERG was born in 1921.
Cypa Chana STERNBERG was born in 1923.
Reizla STERNBERG was born in 1925.
Juda Leib STERNBERG was born in 1927.
2. Hersch WINTER born in 1899
3. Rachel Laja WINTER born in 1900
Rachel Laja married Dawid HALPERN in 1924.
This couple became the parents of
Zelman HALPERN born in 1925.
Moses Samson HALPERN born in 1927.
4. Ryfka WINTER born in 1910, died in 1926.
5. Szymon WINTER born 1916
This is an attempt to collect information about one LEMPEL family from Lubaczow.
A couple named Isak and Sara LEMPEL must have been born around 1800 - 1810.
Isak LEMPEL was a Levite.
Samuel LEMPEL was born in 1837 and died in 1917. His gravestone is located on Row 19, Grave 56. Hopefully the gravestone can be photographed in the future, showing he was a Levite.
That means that Samuel's son Hersz LEMPEL born in 1878 also was a Levite as were Hersz' three sons - Abraham Abisch LEMPEL born in 1917, Samuel LEMPEL born in 1920 and Izak in 1925.
Abraham Abisch and his brother Samuel also had at least three sisters - Tyle Chane born in 1915, Chana Lea born in 1922 and Brancia in 1924.
Ashkenazi tradition is to name a child after a deceased relative. In this case, Samuel born in 1920 was named after his paternal grandfather Samuel LEMPEL who had died in 1917. Izak LEMPEL born in 1925 was perhaps named after his paternal greatgrandfather Izak LEMPEL.
Looking for Pages of Testimony for "Lempel, Lubaczow" I discovered that Abraham Abisch LEMPEL born in 1920 had been commemorated by his niece in Haifa in 1999 as a Holocaust victim, as had the mother of the siblings, the wife of Hersz LEMPEL - Tauba Nesza LEMPEL nee FEDER born in 1891, listed on another Page of Testimony.
Here comes a puzzle. Isak and Sara LEMPEL had at least another son, Dawid LEMPEL. But that Dawid was born around 1856 and died in 1916. If the mother was born around 1800 - 1810, she may have given birth at the age of 46 or a little older. Possible?
Dawid married Malka TENENBAUM and they had at least two daughters:
1. Gitla LEMPEL was born 1878. She married Josef Leib MEILER.
2. Rucza LEMPEL was born in 1883. In 1918 she married Markus REIS and they had at least three children - Chana born 1920, Feiga born 1924 and Dawid in 1925. Again we see that the grandson Dawid LEMPEL born in 1925 was named after his deceased paternal grandfather Dawid LEMPEL who had died in 1916.
Is this correct?
In 1864 a boy was born in Oleszyce to the couple Moses and Chaja WALZER.
They named him Wolf - a kinnui. Perhaps Zeev was his Biblical name, his Shem Kodesh.
From the Oleszyce birth records we discover the names of Moses and Chaja's children who were born in Oleszyce:
1. Nachman WALZER born ca 1853, died in 1924 in Oleszyce.
2. Dawid WALZER born in 1856, died in 1902 in Oleszyce.
3. Josef Samuel WALZER born 1858 in Oleszyce.
4. Mize (?) WALZER born 1861 in Oleszyce.
5. So Wolf WALZER born in 1864 in Oleszyce seems to have been the youngest,
When did Wolf WALZER move to Lubaczow?
In 1921 the marriage between Wolf WALZER and Scheindla FREDMAN was registered in Lubaczow. Scheindla was born in 1866 in Lubaczow, the daughter of Samuel Joachim FRIEDMAN and Beila SEIFER/ SEIFERT/ SEIFERIN.
Considering the fact that in 1921 Wolf was around 47 years old, and Scheindla around 45 years old, my theories are that
1. either they had married much earlier with a rabbi, perhaps in Oleszyce or in Lubaczow, and 1921 was the year they registered their marriage in the civil register in Lubaczow
2. or this could have been a second marriage for both of them. Could their first spouses have died earlier?
Scheindla FRIEDMAN born 1866 was the daughter of Samuel Joachim FRIEDMAN and Beila SEIFERT (SEIFER? SEIFERIN?).
Scheindla had a younger sister, named Hena or Chana, born in 1870 or 1874.
Hena Chana had married Dawid WEICHHOLZ from Kanczuga and they had at least two sons who both died during the year of 1927.
1. Melech WEICHHOLZ , 23 years old. Born ca 1904.
2. Rafael WEICHHOLZ, 22 years old. Born ca 1905.
Dawid WEICHHOLZ, born 1872 in Kanczuga,son of Benzion and Eidel WEICHHOLZ, then is listed as a person deported from Mecheln/ Mechelen in Belgium to Auschwitz on October 10th 1942. Had he emigrated to Western Europe some time after the death of his son in 1927, perhaps with his wife?
