The branch of the family that I'm writing about largely disappeared during the Holocaust -- or at least records of them did. <br /><br />After being sentenced to death in Russia 4 times, my grandfather escaped to the US and went to, of all places, Shenandoah, PA, where I didn't even know there were any Jews, let along orthodox ones! I asked my mother, who was born there, to find out from hew older sister how my grandfather and 2 of his brothers ended up there, and she didn't kno9w. For some reason, she said, that sort of thing wasn't talked about.
