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.)
