NOTES

On Shirley's Declaration and Petition papers as well as the 1940 Census she is listed as living at and working for Mt. Sinai

hospital in New York. I can find no other records concerning her. No information on her mother or sister found.
Note info below on her birth town.


WOLKOWYSK Bialystok district, Poland, today Belarus. Under Soviet rule in1939-41, Jewish businesses were nationalized and

artisans organized into cooperatives. The Germans captured Wolkowysk on 29 June 1941. InSeptember, 200 Jews were
executed in the forest. On 14 October 1942, 27 Jewish doctors were murdered for allegedly treating partisans. InNovember,
the Jews were transferred to 15 big bunkers in a nearby camp where Jews from the entire province were being held and
where starvation and disease claimed 600 lives a day. On 6 and 8 December 1942 all but 1,700 were deported to the Treblinka
death camp. The latter were sent to Auschwitz on 26 January 1943.
