Translator's and editor's footnotes:
  1. Likely a brother of Moshe Gitelman who is also called Rachel Faivesh's [son] p. 127 and is described as the one who procured bullets for the self-defense units in Mlynov. Moshe Gitelman is in the list of Mlynov martyrs with his wife Sal and their daughter Yehudit (born circa 1926). It is unknown when Efraim came to America or what became of him. Return
  2. Mollie Roskes (1876–1963 in Israel) was born Molya Demb, the daughter of Israel Jacob Demb and Rivka (Gruber). She married Samuel Roskes from Lutsk. Samuel migrated to Baltimore in 1901 and Mollie followed with her eldest son David in 1908. She was the second of the five Demb children to migrate to Baltimore. Her siblings who also came to Baltimore include: Bessie (Demb) Hurwitz, Pearl Malka (Demb) Shulman, Yetta (Demb) Schwartz, Aaron Demb, and Max Demming. Later in life, Mollie made aliyah. Read more of the Demb family story. Return
  3. See also the photo of Carl Gaynor and two of his sisters on page 500 with additional notes on the family there. His mother Leah was daughter of Hirsch Holtzeker, the eldest of the Holtzeker brother who came to Mlynov. Return
  4. Mendel Steinberg and his wife Sheindel (Grenspun) and son Anshel survived the Shoah in the essay told by Mendel “The Terror Of Annihilation,” pp. 358-369. They appear in the commemoration photo of survivors, p. 313. Their daughter Susie in this photo was born in the Lechfeld displaced persons camp. Return
  5. Getzel (George) Steinberg, the brother of Mendel Steinberg from the previous photo, survived the Shoah with his wife Pessia (Paula) (Wurtzel), and son Zelig (Gerald) Steinberg. They appear in the commemoration photo of survivors, p. 313 with additional notes about the family and the rescue story of Aviva Feldman who was adopted for a time into their family. See also the Steinberg Family Story with a link to a book about the Steinberg Family survival story. Return
  6. Icek Kozak (1899–1994) managed to get his entirely family out of the Mlynov ghetto as recounted in his essay, “What My Family Endured,” pp. 354-57 with additional notes. The family settled later in Philadelphia. Icek's wife Chava Bichman (also spelled “Bickmouiu”) (1903–1991) is in this photo with their four surviving children: Rubin (1922–~2016 ), Morris (Moshe) (1924–2012), Jean Litz (Genia / Genendal Vidravnik) (1928 –1998) and Karen Lowenthal (Kreina Kozak) (1931– ). Another son died before the War. Return
  7. US records indicate that “Maurice” / Morris Abraham Newman (1900–1984) arrived in the US in April 1924 with his wife “Rachil.” His US records also indicate his family surname was originally Iskiewicz. Their son, David, was born in 1931 in Philadelphia. It seems probable that this Maurice Newman (Iskiewicz) was related to the contributor called “Moshe Iskiewicz” from Haifa who contributed “Impressions and Memories,” pp. 88-89. See additional notes there about the Iskiewicz family. Return
  8. Sister of Yenta / Yetta Breindl Shargel, who appears in the photo below this one with additional notes. Return
  9. Gitel Goldberg (nιe Weitzer or Weizer) (1880–1939) was the wife of Moishe Goldberg whose photo appears on p. 500 with notes there. Gitel arrived in New York with their children in 1921 to join her husband who came before WWI. The name of Gitel's father was Aaron Weitzer/Weizer and her mother is referred to here as “Pessie Khoylye's (daughter],” a name also used in an essay by her daughter, Helen Lederer, In Pain from the First World War. The meaning of “Khoylye” is not certain. It is possible there is a relationship between her and Abraham Khollis who is mentioned, p. 60, as the man who watched over the eternal light in the memorial for the Rebbe from Stolin who died in Mlynov. Return
  10. Yosef / Joseph Shargel (1870–1954) was a son of Yisrael Shargel. He married Yetta Breindl (1870–1954) whose photo is below in the next row with notes about her family. Joseph and Yetta came to Baltimore in April 1925. Two of their eldest children came to the US before WWI: Mollie (Shargel) Feingold (1891–1976) and Julius Shargel (1897–1970). Several of their other children arrived in Baltimore in the late 1920s after a stay in Mexico: Bernard Shargel (1906–1979), Amelia “Milka” (Shargel) Meren (1910-2005), and Earl (Israel) Shargel (1912–1981). A daughter Elka (Shargel) Yakobovitz (1908–?) remained in Russia. A son, Itzik (Shargel) Rom, settled in Mexico. Return
  11. Yenta (also Yetta) Breindl Shargel (1870–1954) was the wife of Yosef/Joseph Shargel (photo in previous row). She was the daughter of Baba (Mandelkern), the sister of the famous Solomon Mandelkern. Her father's name was Yisrael Yitzhak and it seems likely his family name was Weiner based on the fact that two of Yenta Breindl's children were headed to an uncle with the last name of Weiner on their passenger manifests. Sylvia Barditch Goldberg recalls meeting Yetta and her husband and some of their children in Mlynov in her essay “Visiting My Grandparents,” page 268. A funny story (p. 32) indicates that when the famous Solomon Mandelkern came back to Mlynov one day from Vienna, his sister didn't recognize him because he had shaved his beard. Return
  12. Unknown. Return
  13. Abraham Goldberg (1908–1954) was the son of Moishe (Morris) Golberg and Gitel (Weitzer/Weizer). He arrived with his mother and siblings in the US in 1921. He later married his first cousin Frances Spector (1920-2008) the daughter of his father's sister, Sarah/Sura (Gelberg) Spector and her husband Samuel. Return
  14. Unknown. Return
  15. Unknown. Return
  16. Carl Gaynor (1896-1958) with his wife Fannie (Domb) Gaynor (1896–1982) in New York. Carl appears in a photo with his family on page 500 above with additional notes there. Return
