February, 2005: We received an e-mail from Helene Kenvin" who wrote: "I just discovered photographs on the Jagielnica website that include members of my family. I cannot tell you how much this means to me, as this is my grandfather's sister and her family, all of whom died in the Holocaust. I only had one photograph of them, so this is a major find and really has touched me."

Helene went on correct some of the captions and add to them as follows:

* Correction:
1st Row # 5 identified as Leitche (Leah) HERZOG. Actually, it is Leah's older sister, Feiga HERZOG [who married Yankel LEVITT].

** Additional information:
3rd Row # 20 is Yitzchak HERZOG and Number 21 is his wife Chana WIESENTHAL HERZOG. Their daughter Leitche (Leah) HERZOG [who married Mechal HAUSNER] is sitting between them, but is not identified and has no number.
