The Kenig Family

Photos, sometimes tell a story.

My Polish roots.

Upper photo is the Kenig family. My grandparents, Yosef (Z"L) & Lea (Z"L) and their kids: Asher, Arye (Z"L) & THE BABY IS MY MOTHER, hadassa.
Photo taken in Tel- Aviv beach, 1944.
The photo below, a ruined photo that survived the TIME...
My grandparents (Z"L) in the middle, with family both sides.
Photo taken in Lublin, Poland before WW2. Most members of the family were executed in WW2... in concentration camps : Majdanek & Treblinka .
Luckily, my grandparents came to Israel, before WW2. Another person from this photo survived the holocaust.
