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.
