Adolph's father, Nachman Blitzer died. He was about 84 years old. It is not known if my grandfather died of natural causes or because he was might have been interned in a nazi labor camp. He may have been living in Kudrynce, north of Czernovitz, or even Mielnitza.
Adolph was still traveling to different cities for work. The boys were anxious to get out on their own, according to Phil, to lessen the burden on my parents.
In the fall of 1940, Lena was not feeling well. A doctor who examined her said she had a tumor. After a few months, it became evident the doctor's diagnosis was wrong; my mother was pregnant with her seventh child and due to deliver in May, 1941. Lena would be 44 years old, the same age Chana was when she (Lena) was born.
This unexpected event was more than my mother could physically and emotionally handle. The stress of the Depression had taken its toll on Lena.
