Women

313 Chana Gross, ne Perlberger, born 1897 in Wieliczka."After she got married, Chana lived in Krakow. She was very intelligent and liked by the goyim for her tact in her personal life. She was the mother of two sons. On December 11, 1942 in Wieliczka, she and her mother were executed by firing squad. That is all my aunt wrote when she sent me this photograph to pass along to you. She died not long thereafter. The picture of her friend Chana hung in the dining room over the cupboard in a beautiful gilded frame.
