Fred MAJER was born in Lubaczow in 1922 and died in the States in 2009

Sometimes a simple Google search  for "Lubaczow" will give me another name of a person from that town.

This time it as a obituary from 2009.

Fred MAYER, born in 1922 in Lubaczow, had died, and from the text you understood that Fred MAYER was a Holocaust survivor, with many camps listed. He was liberated in Buchenwald.

His parents were listed as the late  Herschel MAYER and Esther SCHWARTZ MAYER.

It was likely, in my opinion, that the family name originally had been MAJER, and that Fred was the KINNUI, not the Shem kodesh.

From the death register and this website, I found that the spelling of the family name must have been MAJER, and Fred's father Zvi Hersch MAJER had died in 1930.

Hersch Zvi's father was Efroim Efraim MAJER. Could Fred have been named after his paternal grandfather?

From the birth register of Lubaczow, we found that Hersch, written Hersz, born 1888,  and his wife Ester had at least these four children:

Rachel born 1916 

Eidla born 1917

Golda born 1920

Efroim born 1922

So from this we can verify that Fred had the biblical name of Efraim Efroim after his paternal grandfather.

Fred was only around eight years old when his father died, and his oldest sister only 14.

What happened to his mother Ester MAJER?

From a Page of Testimony submitted by Ester's daughter, Fred's sister, we learn that Ester had been murdered in the Holocaust.
