Does this still exist? These two images are of the same gravestone located in Warsaw. The first was taken in 1927 of the grave of Chaya Leah Chrzan who died 12 Sep 1909. The second shows the same stone at a later date. I believe this photo may have been taken after World War II. I do not know by whom. How can I determine if it still exists and where? The Warsaw cemeteries have not been able to find this grave, but I am still hopeful it will turn up. The name CHRZAN has been spelled more than one way in Hebrew and elsewhere.

You might want to check out the JewishGen "Burial Registry" database. You can look through all of Poland, or you can choose to search for burials in Warsaw for the surname of Chrzan. You might also want to select the soundex system of search to account for variations of spelling or records.

Hope that this information is helpful....Jo
