Our grandfather and grandmother Berl and Rivkah Ofman (Olejnik)
Their son Zisman, his wife Franya and their daughter Tzirel
And all of our relatives
Who were murdered through no fault of their own in Treblinka death camp.
The father was murdered in Radomsk during the expulsion to the camp; he didn't want to leave his home, resisted the Germans who came to take him and cursed them; they forcibly evicted him and murdered him. May God avenge his soul! The boy depicted between the grandparents is their great grandchild Yakov Zlotnik who later fell in the Israeli War of Independence.

Shmuel-Yitzhak Epsztajn and his wife Temer (Klajner), of blessed memory
Reb Shmuel-Yitzhak Epsztajn (he was called “Kukoska”), belonged to the era when Haskhalah was brought into the yeshivus, Beis-Midrashim and Hasidic shtiblek and led away many teachers, future rabbis, shoykhetim and the like from the “straight path.” They then threw themselves on worldly education and later were eminent doctors, lawyers, journalists, editors who at the time became the acknowledged leadership of Russian-Polish youth.
However, there were also those who remained in the middle; they left the “straight path” and did not go further… Shmuel-Yitzhak Epsztajn belonged to this group. He was occupied with business and was known as the city wit; he reacted quickly with great humor and sharpness to all events in the city.
The worldly education, to which he had aspired, Sh. Y. Epsztajn gave to his children.
Honor his memory.

Eli Grundman, of blessed memory
Eli Grundman was a wealthy merchant, owner of a large steel and building supplies store, in May 3rd Square no.5, a store that has been in the Grundman family for generations. This is one of the oldest and most firmly established families in Radomsk.
Eli Grundman was thin and quick, always in good humor; he was always helpful in private and with caring to his fellow man. He was a pious man and belonged to the Sokacew Hasidic shtibel and was oftentimes even a cantor on Shabbosim and yomim tovim. He was involved in public life and for many years was an active member in the management of the charity fund and the management of the bank (headed by Moishe Berger); he was also active in the Linat Tzedek society.
He was an avid Zionist and in 1924 joined the “spies” from Radomsk, who went to tour Palestine. He came back full of positive impressions, and with a determination to liquidate his businesses, and make aliyah. But this did not come to be because of business and family complications
Country, do not cover their blood!

We shall light an eternal candle in the memory of our dear family members.

To the memory of my father Ahron, mother Devorah-Mindl, brother Moishe-Shmuel, his wife and children – all perished in Treblinka. My brother Haim-Yehezkeil; my wife Roizele with son Gabrial and daughter Haya-Zisele; my sister-in-law Loti with 2 children (Rashel and Marsel) – all perished in Auschwitz.
My father Haim-Dovid Hamer was a person of great intellect; in addition he possessed a good heart and a profound wit and was the advice giver for family and friends. In the later years, he moved with his family to Czenstochow where he lived a modest life. There his door was always open for friends and the poor.
He became very sick in the Czenstochower Ghetto; the German assassins dragged him out of his bed and shot him in the courtyard.
His wife also perished at the murderous hands in that era. His son left for Soviet-Russia and perished there in need and hunger.
His two daughters survived the Holocaust era, emigrating to Toronto (Canada) to their oldest sister, who were there from earlier years.

My father Abraham-Shlomoh Hampel was born in 1889. My mother Esther-Hinda (née Rajch) was born in 1887. My parents were known for their modesty and dedicated their best years to the education of their children and helping their widespread family. Their final route to the death camp was made with the Jews of the town where they were born and worked. My sister Chaja perished with them. (Born 1930).

Once when a Gerer Hasid asked him why he let his daughter study Torah – after all, it is said, “Anyone who teaches his daughter Torah teaches her useless knowledge” – my father, of blessed memory, answered on the spur of the moment: “She has already studied useless knowledge (secular studies) why should I stop her from learning Torah?”
He perished together with his wife Taube (née Rabinowicz), descendant of the author of Yehudi Hakodesh, along with our eldest brother Yitzhak-Meir and his wife Esther (née Genzwajch) and their only son Israel, our sister Elka and her husband Noakh Gotesman with their little girl Miriam; our brother Dovid and his wife Bela (née Cygelman); and lastly our brother, the youngest of all, Simkha-Bunim. Their dear memory is inscribed on our hearts until our last days on earth.

My father Haim Yakobowicz had a furniture workshop at #10 Joselewicz Street. He was known as an excellent craftsman, with a diploma that he received in Czenstochow in 1922. He died in 1928. My mother Sheindel, the granddaughter of Hershel Fridman, a well-known estate owner in Maksymow near Przedborz, my brother Moishe, my sister Esther and her husband Yeshayahu Markowicz, perished in Treblinka. My brother Hershel, 16 years old, was sent to Auschwitz and perished there. My sister Regina was shot in the cemetery in Radomsk. She was 8 months pregnant. My brother Shimon fought with the Red Army and fell in battle. He was an officer. My first husband Shmuel Rosensztajn died in Uzbekistan in Russia.
May their souls be bound up in the bond of eternal life.

Our sister Genendel perished together with our parents and our brother Yitzhak perished in the Skarzysker camp.
May their memory be consecrated!

My father had Zionist convictions and even in his youth aspired to make aliyah to Eretz-Yisroel. To this end he decided to learn a trade. He went to Lodz and studied tailoring. It was a “prestigious” occupation that was held by religious people.
After his marriage to Sarah, daughter of Henekh Alpert (The melamed of Przedborz who made aliyah in 1913), my parents moved to Radomsk to 14 Przedborzka Street, (The Oceckowski house) neighboring Moishe Lewkowicz, of blessed memory, one of the forerunners of the Zionist movement in our city. My father was a friend of Moishe Lewkowicz and was a member of the Zionist circle he founded. My father planned and intended to make aliyah a number of times (1913, 1921, 1924) but valid reasons stopped him from fulfilling his wishes.
The family moved to Lodz before the beginning of the Second World War. The Holocaust caught up with them there. My brother Yakov did not want to leave our elderly parents and escape across the border. He died of typhoid fever in the Lodz Ghetto in 1942. My brother Yosef was a soldier in the Polish army when war broke out. He was captured by the Russians in 1939 and was in a POW camp up until the Szikorski-Stalin agreement. All traces of him were lost after liberation. My brother Moishe was sent from Lodz to a work camp in Germany, and never returned. My sister Rachel probably perished in Krakow. She was there at the time of the Nazis' invasion of Poland. My young brother and sister, Mindl and Berl were in Brussels before the war and were deported from there to the death camp.
My entire family were devoted and active Zionists; they were planning to make aliyah and build the country, but this lifelong wish was never to be.
Their memory will never waver

My father Icze Slawiak (Reymonta Street 19) was active in the managing committee of the Artisans' Union and in the leadership of the Y.L. Peretz Library. He, my mother Minye, sister Dinsze, and brother Shlamek perished in Treblinka in 1942.
He was honest to a fault. This hindered him in commerce, but nonetheless that is the way he taught us. He was considered a revolutionary in his generation for his concept of loving each person for who he was, he was part of the Zionist circles and in his free time he liked being one with nature in hikes outside the city. His whole ambition was to make aliyah, but it never came to pass. He wrote to me on the day the war broke out that he had applied for an aliyah pass. He was too late. I shall never forget my father and home.

Our parents Yitzchak and Esther Fajerman
Our sister Miriam and our brothers Yeshayahu, Yissakhar and Sinai Fajerman
Yitzhak Fajerman was known in Radomsk for his generous heart. His entire family adopted this trait, which manifested itself mainly in hospitality. After WWI, the family moved to Warsaw, settled there quickly and established the “Fajerman House” which became an inn for all visiting Radomskers. In 1923 Yitzhak Fajerman went to Eretz-Yisroel with a group of townspeople to tour the country. During this visit he purchased a plot in Tel Aviv. He came back to Poland and a year later made aliyah, settled in Tel Aviv, and established again the “Fajerman House,” which soon became the committee house for all Radomskers in Israel. Because of a financial crisis, he returned to Warsaw, where he reestablished “Fajerman House” for the third time. There it was destroyed…
