PHOTOS
OF
LEAH KRELITZ
SHERMAN
(Youngest daughter of Meir
Krelitz and mother of Max Sherman-Krelitz and Esther Bejar-Krelitz of
Mexico City)
Leah was born in Yurburg in 1917,
travelled to Mexico City in 1937 on vacation to visit her sister Riva
Guttman-Krelitz. She was told not to return by her brothers and
sisters in Yurburg because of the worsening situation. She remained
and married. Her remaining brothers and sisters in Yurburg were all
murdered in the Shoah, most likely by their own Lithuanian neighbors
from Yurburg. These photos were among her possessions. They give us
a real image of Yurburg right before the end. Many of these photos
were taken by her brother Moshe Krelitz, himself, a talented
photographer.
