What to do when circumstances change?

One of the couples who lived in Lubaczow before World War One, was Baruch  / Boruch Uszer BACH and his wife Chaja BACH. Baruch was born around 1860 and Chaja around 1866.

Baruch BACH was the son of Moses and Laja BACH.

We know of at least four children:
1. The son Josef BACH was born around 1883.
2. The son Max Moses BACH born in 1890 in Lubaczow
3. The  daughter Frieda BACH born ca 1895 in Lubaczow.
4. The  daughter Rachel BACH, born around 1904 in Lubaczow. 

In 1899 there was a big fire in Lubaczow, destroying much of the center of the town. After this, emigration increased, mostly to the United States.


In 1910 Moses BACH traveled from Berlin to Hamburg and then to New York. He was 20 years old, and according to the records he had already been in the States a few years earlier.  Though he came from Berlin, he lists his father Baruch BACH in Lubaczow as the person he has left behind. For some reason, his name has a line over it in the manifest. Did he have problems getting into the States? 


In the States Moses BACH became  Max BACH.


In 1913 Frieda BACH traveled from Lubaczow to New York, listing that she has left her father Baruch BACH in Lubaczow and that she is going to her brother Max BACH in New York. She  was 18 years old at the time.


On August 13th 1915 Boruch Uszer BACH died in Lubaczow. He was 55 years old.  
Later that month, his son Josef BACH, 32, died.
So far we have not located these two graves.


Left in Lubaczow were Chaja the widow,  51 years old, and the youngest daughter Rachel, only 11 years old.
The two children  who had emigrated before the war to the States, Max and Frieda, were now 25 and 20.


During World War One  immigration to the States more or less stopped.


In 1921, six years after the death of Baruch BACH, his widow Chaja and his daughter Rachel traveled from Lubaczow to New York to join Max and Frieda BACH, leaving behind the family graves of Baruch and Leib BACH. 

Who was Leib FISCHLER who died in 1920?

This blogpost is the result of an email from Yaffa VERED nee FISCHLER in Israel, the granddaughter of Leib FISCHLER.

In the Lubaczow Death Registry we read that Leib FISCHLER, 60 years old, either born in or coming from Niemirow, the son of Samuel and Chinka FISCHLER, died in 1920.

Leib is not a Biblical name, but a kinnui, a nickname.
Alexander Beider in his “A Dictionary of Ashkenazic Given Names” writes 
“ In recent centuries, Leyb, its variants and derived forms were used as kinnuim mainly for Judah and Arieh, but sometimes for Moses too”.
The name Chinka was also new to me. According to Beider it comes from  Khane (Chana , חנה). It could be both Chinke and Chinka.

Examining FISCHLER in the Lubaczow Yizkor list, gave the following names:

FISZLER/FISCHLER Yehuda, Kreinze, Schmuel, Rachel, Shimon, Reize and family

Based on the format of the Yizkor list this might mean that a couple named Yehuda and Kreinze FISCHLER/FISZLER were the parents (or grandparents?) of Schmuel/Szmuel/Samuel, Rachel/Rachela, Shimon/Szymon/Simon and Reize (Rosa?) FISCHLER/FISZLER.

Looking at the Pages of Testimony, there is no Page of Testimony for Yehuda/Juda FISCHLER.

There are two Pages for Kreindl /Kreinze FISCHLER.
1. Community member Mendel LEHRER wrote in 1957 that Krajce FISZLER was a widow, had a grocery store, was the widow of Yehuda FISZLER and had four children. He listed her as being 63 when he assumed she was murdered at Belzec in 1942, which means she would have been born around 1879.

2. Her son Noach FISZLER wrote in 1956 that Krajndla FISZLER, the daughter of Aharon Tovia and Rachel (no family name for the parents), was born in Lubaczow in 1880, a housewife, married and the mother of four.

Noach FISZLER wrote an additional two Pages, one for his brother Szmul FISZLER  and one for his brother-in-law Szymon KACBACH.
Szmul Samuel  FISZLER / FISCHLER was born 1898 in Niemirow (now Nyemiruv, Ukraine) , married to Tova/ Tauba nee TEMER and they had four daughters. The family lived in Lubaczow.
Szymon KACBACH / KATZBACH , born 1901 in Chrzanow, was married to Noach’s sister Rachel, and they had three children. The family lived in Lubaczow.

The fact that Mendel Lehrer wrote that Krajce FISZLER was a widow, and the fact that Noach FISZLER did not write a Page of Testimony for his father, brings me to the possibility that Noach’s father Yehuda Juda FISZLER may be Leib FISCHLER who died in 1920.

To strengthen this theory, comes the death of a baby boy in 1933. Little Leib  KATZBACH, only seven weeks old, died in the autumn of 1933. His parents were Szymon KACBACH / KATZBACH and Rachel nee FISZLER / FISCHLER.
Baby Leib KATZBACH  could have been named after his maternal grandfather who had died in 1920. 
Szymon and Rachel KATZBACH / KACBACH also had another son, Aron, born in 1934, who died in 1935. The three children mentioned on the Page of Testimony were probably those alive when the Holocaust started.

Unfortunately I have not been able to locate the grave of Leib FISCHLER/FISZLER who died in 1920. Perhaps in the future this will be possible.

We should probably look for a grave dated TEVET, SHVAT or ADAR 5680
טבת, שבט או אדר תר"פ
The name of the deceased could be
 יהודה בן שמואל
אריה בן שמואל
יהודה לייב בן שמואל

Hopefully  his granddaughter and other descendants in Israel will one day be able to visit his grave. 

Additional information from Yaffa VERED:
Leib FISCHLER was married twice. First to a woman named Necha Neti. Together they had several children. Six weeks after the birth of their son Moses / Moshe FISCHLER, Necha Neti died.
After this, Leib married Kreindl, Necha Neti's sister. Leib and Kreindl then had children together.
Necha and Kreindl were sisters. Their maiden name may have been FISCHLER, though this is not documented, and we do not know the names of their parents.

More information about two of Leib FISCHLER's sons.
1. Zvi Hirsch FISCHLER managed to escape to Eretz Israel just before the war.
2. Moshe FISCHLER left Lubaczow for Vienna in 1915 and then moved to Berlin. There he married. His daughter Ida was born in 1927 in Berlin and his son Juda Leo was born in 1935. For those who understand Hebrew you can listen to Ida's testimony at Yad Vashem by doing a Google search for "Ida Fischler Berlin"



Last, just a guess:
Yaffa VERED never heard that her FISCHLER family was Levites, but believe they were Israel. Despite this, I believe it is worth checking the following gravestone closer:

The KUDLER family

According to the Lubaczow death register Mendel ( Menachem) KUDLER died on April 30th 1921. He was only 35 years old and the son of Moses Chanoch and Judes KUDLER. His son Dawid wrote in a testimony that his father died of typhus while travelling to buy horses for the farm.

He had been married to Bronia Bronislawa nee HAUSER and together they had five children. They lived in Baznia Dolna. Their youngest child was Dawid Saul KUDLER  born April 20th 1920 in Baznia Dolna.

The location of Mendel KUDLER's grave is not certain.

After Mendel died, Bronislawa Bronia married Mieczyslaw HUETNER (HITNER?) and the family lived on a farm in Rozborz, close to Jaroslaw.

Two of the children, a son and a daughter, managed to emigrate to Eretz Israel before the war.

The three other children - Irena, Mieczyslaw and Dawid - were studying and working in Krakow, and the mother and stepfather were living at the farm in Rozborz. 

After the war broke out, the children returned to their mother, as their stepfather, an officer, had already been called to the Polish Army.

Later Dawid KUDLER moved back to Krakow where he worked as a painter for a German firm. He continued to work there even after March 1943 when he had to live in the ghetto in Podgorze. 

Later he was transferred to the Plaszow ghetto and  then towards the end of 1943 to Czestochowa, working as a painter, and then to Buchenwald. In March 1945 he and the other prisoners were transferred to Bergen Belsen where he was liberated by the British on his birthday  April 20th 1945.

His mother Bronia, his stepfather Mieczyslaw HUETNER (HITNER?,  his brother Mieczyslaw KUDLER  and sister Irena KUDLER  were all murdered in Holocaust.

On June 26th 1946 Dawid KUDLER arrived in Haifa.

His brother Arie, affectionately called Lonek, was born in Jaroslaw in 1916 and had managed to emigrate to Eretz Israel in the 1930's. On May 25th 1948, following the foundation of the State of Israel, he was drafted into the Israeli Army. He fell in battle on July 30th 1948 and was first buried at Mishmar Haemek and in 1950 reburied at the military cemetery at Nachalat Yitzchak in Tel Aviv.

Dawid Kudler married, had children.  He gave a testimony in Hebrew back in 2004. I have extracted most of the information here.
http://ffather.blogspot.no/2007/08/blog-post_2728.html

Dawid Kudler died on April 20th 2014, on his 94th birthday, according to  a death notice on the internet.

October 6th 1915

We already know that a large number of the Jews in Lubaczow died in the year of 1915.
One of the dates that stand out in this tragic connection is October 6th 1915.
Why are so many persons listed in the death register on this particular day?
Was it part of the warfare or was there some epidemic?  I do not know.

One of those listed here, Arje PRICKER, is listed as a Russian soldier - so we understand he was a Russian Jewish soldier.

World War One: Battles around Lubaczow in the summer of 1915. Diseases

The year 1915 became an extreme year in Lubaczow.

230 deaths were registered that year  -  a huge number considering a Jewish population of perhaps 1700.

Looking at the list of those who died in Lubaczow in 1915, it is likely that the fighting between the Germans and the Russians in this area took its toll on the civilian population

From  the 1929 Swedish Encyclopedia ( Nordisk Familjebok) :

"During the World War the 11th German Army (von Mackensen) broke through the stronghold of the Russians between Lubaczow and Jaworow on June 12th to June 15th 1915."

In the book Almanac of World War I by David F. Burg, L. Edward Purcell you should read the description for June 13th 1915 to get an impression of the violent battles in this part of Galicja. I did a simple Google search for "Lubaczow 1915" and could read the relevant passage on Google books.

"רחל בת אפרים "מתה בעת מלחמה מן כלי תותח

Rachel daughter of Efraim "died during the war of a rocket"

But how many of the 230 persons died of  some kind of epidemic disease? We do not know. 

This is a select list of graves from 1915.

We must remember that children usually did not get any gravestones. Around a third of those who died were 16 years old or younger.

As none of these graves have the family name inscribed, a definite identification  must be taken very carefully.
