Family History

I haven't posted on this blog in a while but its time I think to restart this blog. Posts will include old family pictures, family documents and the family's oral tradition.

If you have any of the above, please email me and I will post.

To start us off, the next two posts come from pictures that were housed in Aunt Rose's apartment (sent to me by Elisha).

If you have any details on the these pictures, please add them to the comment section.

Strochin/Diamond Family

I do not know the year this photo was taken, but it shows the Strochin/Diamond/Schiff families.

The Strochin's were Aunt Rose's parents. Sara Schiff (nee' Strochin) was Rose's sister.

Children sitting from L. to R.: Sruli Singer, Jack Schiff, Dudie Diamond, Chanie Brecher, Evelyn Kranz (nee' Schiff).

Labor Camp

This is a picture that was taken, I believe, in a labor camp in France. Uncle Ikki is the one with the pipe in his mouth (right of center) and Uncle Shulem is holding the saw (far right). Uncle David is sitting on the bottom left.
