Meyer, my grandmother Estera's first husband,
immigrated to Jerusalum c.1909. As described in Just One, when Estera
refused to join him there with their children, she accepted his offer of a
divorce. They each subsequently remarried. Moishe -- Meyer and Estera's son -- remained in Poland and helped raise my mother, his young half-sister. He eventually joined his father in 1933, and thus escaped the Holocaust. Meyer (seated) and Moishe, at the wedding of Moishe's daughter. Jerusalem, c.1961. |
