Esther Wolynsky

 
Esther Wolynsky, born in Bialystok around 1930 is six years old in this picture. She is the daughter of my father's sister. Esther, and her mother and father, were rounded up by the nazis and killed in the camps. My father, his mother, and his two brothers escaped before the nazi invasion of Poland. My grandmother fled to Palestine. One of my uncles entered illegally into America. He was afraid of being reported to the Immigration service and so fled to Mexico where he died of disease and poverty. My other uncle lived in America until his death in 1953. My father bought a ranch in the San Fernando Valley in southern California where he raised chickens. He died at age 42 from nervousness, and sorrow.
