My father's family in the Zawiercie Cemetery in about
1934/1935.
They are standing around the
grave of my father's grandmothers.
You can read her name, Miriam Neufeld.

Next to him on the left is his brother, Jonas;
Behind him is his grandfather Schloime Neufeld (husband of the deceased
Miriam;)

Wigdersohn) Neufeld;
To her left is my father's father, Leibel Neufeld;
Finally my father's brother, Michael (Moniek/Moishe.)
