In Memoriam

3rd great-uncle · eldest documented Weisz child of Lebli & Pepi · Kohen (inherited through Lebli HaKohen) · lived in Nyírmeggyes, Szatmár at the time of deportation · taken in the May 1944 sweep of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg Jews · murdered at Auschwitz aged 78 · Confirmed via Yad Vashem Page of Testimony. The destruction extends a generation above Lipot's — Samuel's siblings who stayed in the region were also deported. Samuel himself (d. 1940) was spared by the timing of his natural death.
