My mother was a survivor.
i lived right around the corner from this synagogue
My mother’s family came to America from Mamamoresh Sighet.
This was during the great depression.My grandparents were
Harry & Frieda Pollack,their siblings were my mother Ella,
her sisters Doris,Clara & my uncles Joseph,Leo & Anton.
My grandfather Harry had a wholesale meat business(both
kosher & treif).
My theory is if Elie Weisel had left Sighet at the same time my family left for America he would probably become a butcher like my uncles or a furrier. In other words just another Jewish tradesman.
My father’s family were fro Satu Mare and came to America
about the same time, His mother Nettie, my father Arthur
his father died about 1916 and I never knew his name.
