Photo Album
of
Leah
Krelitz-Sherman
These photos were found by Leah's children Max Sherman-Krelitz and
Esther Bejar-Sherman after her death. Most were taken by Leah's
brother, Moshe Krelitz who remained in Yurburg and was murdered along
with all the Jewish residents of Yurburg in the fall of 1941 after
the Nazi invasion of Lithuania. Most of the people pictured were
among those murdered. The murders were carried out by the Lithuanian
collaborators of the Nazis. The last two pictures were taken in
Mexico, where Leah immigrated in 1937. She had traveled there to
visit her sister, Riva, but was told to not return to Lithuania
because the situation was deteriorating. Letters found after her
death told of her brothers and sisters fears of what was to befall
them.
