Gdańsk, Poland

 

19 October 2016


Hi Eli

 

Michelle Urban forwarded your email regarding Gdansk. My parents were born In Kalisz but lived in Gdansk or as the Free State of Danzig as it was known at that time. My sister Judy was born in Danzig in ’38 and my parents worked there as tailors. I have an old postcard that my father sent my mother from Danzig to Kalisz. 

 

I’m happy to send the postcard and any the documentation I have relating to Danzig.


I was born in Shanghai in 1947 the youngest child of Joseph/Yosef Zilbersztein and Zelda Haze. My father Joseph was born on 13 October 1909 in Kalisz, Russian Empire and my mother was also born in Kalisz on 22 October 1912.
