Karola's
sister took Miriam (Bala's sister, not shown in this photo) to live with her family after Miriam had spent three nights living in a parked bus in
Palestine. The Krzepicka family owned a candy store on Kaliska Street (good shopping)  in Wielun.  All those in the group photograph perished in the Holocaust.
