https://jewishcemeterylubaczow2015.blogspot.com/2015/03/row-4-grave-4-group-six-gershon.html

This is the grave of Gerszon's wife Margule Margula DRUKER who died in 1915.

YIZKOR from 1954: A second BRAND family

A BRAND family listed on a separate line:

Hebrew:

'ברנד, יונה, איטה-רייזל, חיה -רויזה, משה -יצחק ומשפ

Jona BRAND born ca 1890
Ita Reizel BRAND born ca 1902
Chaja Rojza BRAND born ca 1924
Mala BRAND born ca 1929
Moses Isak BRAND born ca 1932

I have not found information confirming if and when this family lived in Lubaczow, but hope you may help.

YIZKOR list from 1954: One BRAND family

Hebrew:

'ברנד, הלל,גליקל, אברהם,אריה, פישל, רחל ומשפ

English transcription

BRAND Hilel, Glickel, Avraham, Arieh, Fischel, Rachel and family


Likely versions used back in Lubaczow:

BRAND Hilel
BRAND Glikel / Glükla    ( perhaps mistake for Gitel BRAND?)
BRAND Abraham
BRAND Arie /  (Leib?)
BRAND Fischel / Fiszel
BRAND Rachel



Hilel BRAND , son of Szaja and Glueckla BRAND, was born  around 1867, and died in 1934 / 1935.

https://jewishcemeterylubaczow2015.blogspot.com/2015/02/row-1-grave-54-hilel-brand.html

Hilel BRAND's wife was born around 1862 as Gitla SAUERBRUN. She died in 1919.


The other names may be children and their spouses, but I have not found any sources for them.

YIZKOR from 1954: BOGNER

Hebrew:

'בוגנר, מנדל, חנה,יצחקת צפורה ומשפ

English transcription:

BOGNER Mendel, Chana, Yitzchak, Zippora and family


Likely versions used back in Lubaczow:

BOGNER Mendel              ( Menachem?)
BOGNER Chana               ( Hena??)
BOGNER Izak / Isak / Izaak / Isaak
BOGNER  Feiga / Feige


Mendel and Chana BOGNER lived in Lubaczow. 
In 1915 their son Simon  Meschel BOGNER, born in 1893, died. We have not located Simon's grave, so far.

In 1919  Hena BOGNER,  born ca 1864, the daughter of Simon and Feiga SILBER, the wife of Mendel BOGNER, died. My theory is that Hena is Chana and that Mendel and Chana BOGNER's son Simon was named after his maternal grandfather Simon SILBER. 

A daughter-in-law of Chana and Mendel BOGNER, Rachel BOGNER nee SCNECK, submitted a Page of Testimony for her sister-in-law Feiga BOGNER

A son of Chana and Mendel BOGNER, Asher BOGNER, submitted a Page of Testimony for his sister Zipora Feiga BOGNER, born in 1898 in Lubaczow, a seamstress, She was not married, lived in Lubaczow and was in Lwow/Lviv during the war.
The fact that Asher BOGNER did not submit Pages for his parents seem to indicate that they both had died before the Holocaust.

But who was Isak/ Yitzchak BOGNER?

A brother of Hena BOGNER nee SILBER ; Jakob SILBER, died at the age of 79 in 1936. This may perhaps be his grave

YIZKOR list from 1954:: BODENSTEIN

Hebrew:

'בודנשטיין, שמחה ומשפ

English transcription:

BODENSTEIN Simcha and family

Likely versions used back in Lubaczow:

BODENSTEIN, Simcha / Symcha / Simche

There were several BODENSTEIN families in Lubaczow before the Holocaust, but I cannot find Simche /Simcha BODENSTEIN.

A person named Symche BODENSTEIN from Narol, born in 1894, a flour merchant, is listed on a Page of Testimony but if this is the same person mentioned in this Yizkor list, is not clear.

Yizkor list from1954: BLUMENFELD

Hebrew: 

'בלומנפלד, וולף,חוה,ברל, יהושע, פישל,אנשלת זלטה ומשפ

English transcription:

BLUMENFELD Wolf, Chava, Berl, Yehushua, Fishel, Anshel, Zlata and family (from Most Katan)

Ways these names might have been written back in Galicja:

BLUMENFELD Wolf
WOLKENFELD Chava / Chawa
WOLKENFELD Berl / Ber
WOLKENFELD Yehoshua / Osias / Osziaz / Ozias
WOLKENFELD Fischel / Fiszel
WOLKENFELD Anschel / Anszel
WOLKENFELD Zlata        (Golda?)

Looking through my records, I have found  no BLUMENFELD family in Lubaczow.
Could it be, that those mentioned above were relatives of a family from Lubaczow?

Where was Most Katan? (Katan is small in Hebrew)
According to Where We Once Walked by Mokotoff and Amdur Sack this must be Mosty Male , around 50 km NE of Lubaczow. Mosty Male had  a Jewish population of 147 before the Holocaust. 

YIZKOR list in 1954: BLUMENBERG

Hebrew:

'בלומנברג, יצחק-אייזיק, לאה'צה, דוב ומשפ

English transcription:

BLUMENBERG Yitzchak-Aizik, Lea'che, Dov and family

Likely versions used back in Lubaczow:

BLUMENBERG Eizik / Ajzik
BLUMENBERG Lea'che / Lea                 Laura
BLUMENBERG Berl / Ber


Eisik BLUMENBERG  was born around 1890 and married Laura BRUNER, the daughter of Abusz BRUNER from Lubaczow. He and his wife had at least two daughters - Rachel and Malka. According to Pages of Testimony submitted by the niece of Eisik BLUMENBERG, Eisik, Laura and their two daughters were murdered in Zloczow.

Shlomo Helsinger told me the following:
"The Blumenberg  shop, a Galanteria, was at the Rynek. It was a big shop. There were textiles and a parfumery. Elegant clothes. I worked there from the age of 13, after my father had died. The father in the Blumenberg family was Ajzik, his wife was Lea'che nee BRUNNER and they had three children - Berl, Mali and an older daughter I do not remember the name of."

YIZKOR list from 1954: BLEIBERG

Hebrew:

'בלייברג, ישראל,שרה, צלובה, שבע, רגינה, אטל, פסל ומשפ

English transcription:

BLEIBERG Israel, Sara, Sluwa, Szewa, Regina, Etel, Pesel and family

Likely versions, used back in Lubaczow:

BLEIBERG Sara
BLEIBERG Sluwa /Celuwa / Cluwe
BLEIBERG Szewa    (Eliszewa)
BLEIBERG Regina  
BLEIBERG Etel / Etla
BLEIBERG Pesel / Pessel /  Pesla

No relatives seem to have submitted Pages of Testimony for this family, only community member M. Lerer who left Lubaczow towards the end of the 1930's, submitted Pages for Israel, Sara, Celuwa, Szewa and Pesel.
He writes the family name as BLAJBERG.

He submitted another two Pages for the sons of Pesel BLEIBERG ( he estimated she was around 70 years old when she was murdered)  - the horsedealers Aba BLEIBERG  ( born around 1900) and Mosche BLEIBERG ( born around 1905).

If you have any additional information about this family, please contact us.

In 2024 , looking through marriage records from Lwow for the year 1938 , I found the marriage of Wolf BLEIBERG born 1902, from Lubaczow, and Schosche FINGERGUT, born 1908.

Wolf BLEIBERG was listed as the son of Chaje Laje BLEIBERG, with no name of his father.

I have not found his name on Pages of Testimony, and he is not on the Yizkor list from Lubaczow.

Hopefully he and his wife got out Europe.

YIZKOR list from 1954: BLANKENHAMER

Hebrew:

'בלנקנהמר, יואל ומשפ

English transcription:
BLANKENHAMER Joel and family



Joel BLANKENHAMER was originally from Uhnov, born around 1884, married to Rachel nee HELLER. They had at least four children: 
Israel Isak BLANKENHAMER
Moses Ber BLANKENHAMER 
Chaim BLANKENHAMER
Sara BLANKENHAMER

Joel BLANKENHAMER died in Lubaczow in 1938, only 54 years old. He was not a Holocaust victim, but what happened to his wife and children?

In the 1929 Business Directory for Lubaczow we find:
BLANKENHAMER   Piekarnie Baker
                Could this have been Joel BLANKENHAMER who died in 1938, 54                    years old?
                Community member M. Lerer listed him on a Page of Testimony.                    Could it be Lerer left Lubaczow before Joel BLANKENHAMER's                        death in 1938?

Joel Blankenhamer's grave has not been located.

YIZKOR list from 1954:BERN

Hebrew:

'ברן, שמעון, גיטל ומשפ

g

English transcription:

BERN Shimon, Gitel and family


Versions that may have been used back then  in Lubaczow:

BERN, Simon / Szymon
BERN Gitel / Gitla


There is only a single Page of Testimony for Simon BERN from Lubaczow., It was submitted by researcher Julia Radtke in Berlin in 2010.

From other sources we know that Simon/ Szymon BERN and his wife Gitla nee KATZ had at least three children -  Abraham Joel BERN who died as a baby and  two daughters Chana and Hena.

Did the two daughters survive or are they included in "and family"?

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.
https://jewishcemeterylubaczow2015.blogspot.com/2015/03/row-3-grave-16-feiwel-berger.html

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?

YIZKOR list from 1954: BELZ

Hebrew:

'בלץ, אריה,חנה,לאה,יחיאל, לאה ומשפ

English transcription:

BELZ Arieh, Chana, Lea, Yechiel, Lea and family

Versions that may have been used back in Lubaczow:

BELZ,  Leib  Leib'ele  Arie

BELZ, Chana
BELZ Lea / Laja
BELZ Chiel  
BELZ Laja / Lea

Could Arie  and Chana BELZ be Leib BELZ (born 1867), and Chana nee GÄRTNER (born 1866)?

From  Pages of Testimony submitted by Chana's grandson Meir Nussbaum:

1. Chana Ita BELZ nee GÄRTNER, born around 1865, married to Arie , had a coffee shop. According to the Page, she had become a widow in 1938 when her husband died.

My theory is that  Arie Leib died in 1939 and that this is his gravestone
https://jewishcemeterylubaczow2015.blogspot.com/2015/02/row-2-grave-3-group-six.html

2. Jechiel BELZ, born 1898,  son of Arie Leib and Chana BELZ,  a merchant, was married to Lea Laja BELZ,( born ca 1905). They had  two children (Hinda BELZ and Moshe BELZ).

3. Arie Leib and Chana had a daughter named Laja SCHMIDT nee BELZ, born around 1878, married to Salomon SCHMIDT. 

Laja SCHMIDT nee BELZ died in 1924. Her grave has not been located.

There are Pages  submitted for Salomon SCHMIDT and their two daughters  Susel SCHMIDT born in 1922 and Tauba Jona SCHMIDT  born 1924 by Meir Nussbaum. 
An additional Page for a son named Josef SCHMIDT (born around 1932?) does not seem correct if 1. Laja died in 1924 and 2. if Salomon SCHMIDT did not remarry after 1924. Perhaps it is a Jozef Schmidt with other parents?

In 1924 Mala BELZ nee HOLZBERG, the wife of Mojzesz Kalman BELZ died.
She was 80 years old, born around 1844. She must have become the mother of Leib BELZ born 1867, when she was around 22 or 23 years old

In 1938 died Scheindel Szajndla GOTTLIEB nee BELZ, the daughter of  Moses Kalman and Mala BELZ. Scheindel  Szajndla was born  ca 1877 and married to Boruch GOTTLIEB,

YIZKOR list from 1954: BEER

Hebrew:

'בר, בריינדל ומשפ

My original English transcription was:
BAR Breindel and family

Checking additional sources in 2019, I now understand the family name is BEER or BER.


BEER/BER, Breindel and family.


Community member M. Lerer is the only person who wrote a Page of Testimony for her. He wrote that Breindel Beer was a widow and that she was around 40 years old. Who had she been married to? When did her husband die? Who were their children? 

YIZKOR list from 1954: BAKANOWSKI

 Hebrew :

'בקנבסקי, יצחק, חיה -מירל ומשפ 

My original transcription was:

BAKNIWSKI Yitzchak, Chaya-Mirel and family

After rechecking the family name in different sources now in 2019, I discovered the family name is BAKANOWSKI

בקנובסקי

Likely versions used back in Lubaczow:

BAKANOWSKI, Isaak
BAKANOWSKI, Chaja Mirla

There were no Pages of Testimony submitted by relatives for this couple and their children, but community member M. Lerer who escaped to Eretz Israel in the late 1930's and submitted many Pages of Testimony, wrote that Isaak BAKANOWSKI was a Torah scribe, a SOFER.

Isaak BAKANOWSKI was born in 1891 and his wife Chaja Mirla nee SCHNEIDER was born in 1890. They had at least two daughters.

Isaak  BAKANOWSKI's parents were Israel BAKANOWSKI and Scheindel nee GOTTESMANN  who must have lived in nearby Oleszyce, according to JRI-Poland.

YIZKOR list from 1954: ASCHKENAZY / ASZKENAZY

Hebrew:

'אשכנזי, משה-דוד ומשפ

English transcription:

ASCHKENAZY Moshe David and family

Likely versions of the name back then in Lubaczow:

ASCHKENAZY / ASZKENAZY Moses Dawid / Mojzesz Dawid



The Aszkenazy family owned a saw mill in Lubaczow, according to the 1929 Business Directory.

According to Pages of Testimony submitted by a cousin,  three brothers are listed as the sons of Moshe Dawid and Malka ASZKENAZY:
1. Zalman Arie ASZKENAZY born 1893 
2. Yehoshua ASZKENAZY born in 1898  
3. Shlomo Salomon ASZKENAZY born in 1916

We have not found any Page of Testimony submitted for Moshe David ASCHKENAZY. Based on the birth year of his oldest child born 1893, one could assume he was born around 1870, and would have been around 70 years when WWII started.


Syma Lea FRAENKEL nee ASZKENAZY / ASCHKENAZY, born in 1894, daughter of Moshe David ASZKENAZY and Malka nee RAMRAZ, married Moses FRÄNKEL in Lubaczow.
Did she manage to escape with her family? 


Could Bajla ROSLER nee ASZKENAZY, born 1911, in the following document from the USHMM  have come from this family? She was in Antwerpen, Belgium during the war.
https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/pa1169304

English transcription:

ALTMAN Chaim-Shmuel, Ester-Etel, Elimelech, Jacob, Sara, Chaim-Zvi, Nathan, Chana, Chanoch, Motel and family.


Likely versions of writing these names back in Lubaczow:

ALTMAN  Chaim
ALTMAN  Ester
ALTMAN  Elimelech / Meilech
ALTMAN Jakob / Jakub
ALTMAN Sara
ALTMAN Chaim  Hersz / Chaim Hersz
ALTMAN Nathan / Nusyn
ALTHMAN Chana
ALTMAN Chanoch
ALTMAN Motel    (Mordechai?)

No relatives seem to have submitted Pages of Testimony to Yad Vashem for this family.

There is one Page of Testimony submitted for Chaim ALTMAN, a merchant, married to  Ester Etil, by community member M. Lerer.

Could the family have moved away from Lubaczow before the Holocaust?

Note: The fact that Mendel BOGNER is on the Yizkor list and died in 1933, is one of the reasons I believe the Yizkor list also includes names of persons who died before the Holocaust. In this case, relatives in Israel in the 1950's had no possibility to visit Mendel BOGNER's grave in Lubaczow and would commemorate him in Israel during the Lubaczow Landsmanschaft meetings. Do you agree?

When did Chana ADLER die?

Cwi ADLER's Page of Testimony was submitted by a relative named Scheindel ADLER.

David Shmuel ADLER's Page of Testimony was submitted by the same relative, Scheindel ADLER.

David ADLER's second Page of Testimony was submitted by his brother-in-law Shlomo ADLER and includes the names of the three children of David and Elka ADLER - Moshe ADLER ,Yehuda Zvi ADLER and Mindel ADLER.

Elka ADLER nee LEVI's Page of Testimony was submitted by her relative Scheindel ADLER.
Elki ADLER nee LEVI's Page of Testimony was submitted by her brother Shlomo LEVI.

Majer ADLER's Page of Testimony was submitted by his cousin Shlomo ADLER. 

Keila DORNER nee ADLER was a daughter of Mendel and Channale ADLER. She is listed under DORNER on the YIZKOR list with her husband and one of their sons.

YIZKOR list from 1954. Religious leaders mentioned.

The Yizkor List starts with the following text.

My own translation of this is:

The honest and pious
Zaddikim and Chassidim,
the men, women and children of the holy community
of the town Lubaczow in Eastern Galicia
May Their Souls Be Bound Up In The Bond Of Life
Merciful God in Heaven, grant
Perfect repose in the wings of the Schechina
of the holy and pure persons as the firmament
the skies will light
the souls of the illustrious and famous rabbis
great in Torah who served on the chair of the rabbinate
for many years in the holy community of Lubaczow:

Rabbi Shmuel-Nachum Nathansohn
Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Teomim- Frenkel
Rabbi Yekutiel Schor
Rabbi Levi- Yitzchak Schor
Rabbi Bezalel Glanzberg Mu"Z ( Moreh Zedek)
Rabbi Issachar-Dov Rokach and Rabbi Shalom Rokach, descendants of the late Belzer rabbi.
When remembering these holy persons, we also remember those who died a natural death. May we never, with God's help, forget their names and memory.


HOLOCAUST
Out of the  rabbis mentioned above, we know from Pages of Testimony submitted to Yad Vashem that two were murdered in the Holocaust:
Rabbi Levi-Yitzchak SCHOR and Rabbi Shalom ROKACH.

Possible leads for further research.

NATHANSOHN
From JRI Poland, we learn that Simche/Symche NATHANSOHN, born 1871, from Lubaczow, son of Samuel and Pesie NATHANSOHN, married Siesel GOLDBERG in Stryj in 1898.

TEOMIM -FRÄNKEL
The wife of Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel TEOMIM-FRENKEL ,  Rebbetzin Beila, died in 1908 and is buried in this cemetery, but we have not located the rabbi's grave.

SCHOR
It is possible that Rabbi Yekutiel SCHOR is buried on Row 1, Grave 18, next to Moshe KOENIG. It is difficult to read the text on that particular gravestone. Hopefully a future visitor  will be able to verify if this is Rabbi Yekutiel SCHOR's grave.

GLANZBERG
The family name GLANZBERG  appears, so far, 

1. in the Lubaczow Yizkor list: 

    GLANZBERG, Leib, Eisig and family.



2. the death of Sara Keila GLANZBERG nee REICH, wife of Eisig GLANZBERG.

    She died in 1915 in Lubaczow at the age of 38. Born ca 1877.

    

3. In 1910, in Zborow, Israel Leibisch GLANZBERG,born 1884,(son of Zallel         GLANZBERG and Golda FRÄNKEL from Lubaczow) married Beile KAUFMANN,      born 1891, (daughter of Mendel and Reizel KAUFMANN).



4. In Uhnov in 1895 Riwka GLANZBERG  and her husband Uscher Sender              MARGULIES had twins, though only one twin survived - the daughter Beile.      Riwka GLANZBERG is listed as the daughter of Zallel and Golda                      GLANZBERG from Lubaczow.

YIZKOR list from 1954. An Introduction.

According to "Where Once We Walked," there were 1, 715 Jews in Lubaczow before the Holocaust.

I once translated a one-page Yizkor list for Lubaczow. The list, containing close to 860 persons, was finished in 1954, a project of the Israeli Lubaczower Landsmanschaft and its chairman, the late Uri Roth. The scribe who wrote the one-page list was the late Samuel S. Lieberman from Tel Aviv, originally from Cieszanow.

The list gives no indication of age or of internal family relationships ( parents, children, siblings, spouses ) of the victims. The words "and family" in the list seem to indicate there were additional family members whose names were forgotten or not known.

Because the names have been translated from Hebrew and the print in our copy was tiny, the spelling must be taken with much caution. Please send any corrections you can find to me: efloersheim (at) gmail.com


My initial impression was that these names were the names of persons murdered in the Holocaust. Later I have understood that this is not always the case. 

1. Some of the religious leaders had died long before the Holocaust.

2. Some had died in the late thirties, even in the 1920's.

3. WWII broke out in September 1939. Some had died  between September 1939 and  December 1940, during the Soviet occupation.

Relatives who had managed to escape to Eretz Israel before the Holocaust and those Holocaust survivors who managed to get to Israel after the war, knew they had no possibility to go to Lubaczow to their family graves. There were of course no graves for those relatives who had been murdered in the Holocaust.

These members of the Israeli Lubaczower Landsmanschaft would get together and needed a way to commemorate their relatives without visiting the Lubaczow Jewish cemetery and without any graves for those murdered during the Holocaust.

I also believe they wanted to honor those religious leaders who had led and influenced their lives back in Lubaczow.

My theory today is that the Yizkor list composed in 1954 in Tel Aviv had three purposes,:
1. to give at least some of the relatives in Israel a symbolic way of commemorating their deceased family members buried in Lubaczow.
2. to honor the religious leaders  they had back in Lubaczow
3. to commemorate their murdered relatives and friends. This may have been the main purpose.

Three sons of Jozef and Chaja KATZ

My last blogpost was about the family of Berl KATZ.

The parents of Berl KATZ were Josef / Jozef KATZ and his wife Chaja nee RINDLER.

A rough estimate would give Jozef and Chaja's birth years around 1840 - 1845, and their year of wedding around 1863 - 1868.

From the fact that Berl named his oldest son Josef when he was born in 1904, we understand that Berl's father had died before 1904.

From the fact that their son Berl named his daughter born in 1914 Chaja, we understand that Chaja KATZ nee RINDLER had died before 1914.

The three sons we have found so far, all lived around Lubaczow , in Basznia, but had completely different fates.

Their youngest son, Hersch (Zvi)  KATZ, was born around 1889, and died, 26 years old in 1915. 1915 was the year that so many died in Lubaczow.

Their son Berl KATZ was born in 1874, was first married to Malka. After Malka's death in 1915,  Berl married Chaja. Berl was murdered in the Holocaust.

Their son Izrael / Israel KATZ was born either in 1864 or around 1869. He died in June 1936, either 67 or 72 years old.
