Nagelberg
Family
The first photo was given to Sol
Mandel by Max Nagelberg. Max grew up in Germany but spent his
summers in Bukachevtsy visiting his grandparents, Joel and Chana Nagelberg
and Elia and Chaya Holler.
He and Sol were playmates during those summers and then did not meet again
till about 2000 when Max visited New York. Most of the people were
identified by Max. Please contact your webmaster
if you can identify others.
Frieda Holler (born 1900) and Itzchak (Isaac) Nagelberg (born 1893) left
Bukachevtsy and moved to Germany but were expelled to Bentschen
in 1938. Max (born 1924) was sent to Australia on Kindertransport
and thus survived the Holocaust while the rest of his family were killed
after returning to Bukachevtsy from Bentschen. (Ironically, Max
ended up surviving a Japanese prisoner of war camp as a soldier in the
Australian Army.)

Lawrence, who was a cousin of Max's. Rosalie and her sister Ruth
were 'introduced' to Max by Sol Mandel, who remembered how they were
related. And all of this happened across the US, Israel, and
Australia.)
