WEGSZTAJN / WEKSZTAJN (Szloma Szmerel & Hesa)

Wegsztajn (Weksztajn) and Korenblit families
Wegsztajn (Weksztajn) and Korenblit families (Author: unknown)

The picture shows the Wegsztajn (Weksztajn) and Korenblit families. Seated on the far right is Bajla Korenblit (née Wegsztajn), standing behind her is her son – Izaak Korenblit, standing on the far left is her daughter – Helena and standing in the middle is Bajla’s youngest daughter – Rachela. The oldest couple seated in the middle is probably Hesa Wegsztajn (née Zorman) and her husband Szloma Szmerel Wegsztajn – parents of Bajla. The picture was taken in the late 1920's or early 1930's.

 

Szloma Szmerel Wegsztajn (vel Weksztajn) was born October 19th, 1870, in Lublin. His parents were Icek Wegsztajn (Weksztajn) from Lublin and Zlata née Band from Konskie. Szloma Szmerel was noted in his children's birth certificates as a brush maker and a merchant, and then – in other later sources – as an owner of a pub/restaurant on 2 Pijarska street [ul. Pijarska 2] in Lublin.

Hesa Zorman was born April 14th, 1875, in Lublin. Her parents were Abram Motel Zorman (vel Zauerman) and Ruchla née Fajnmel (vel Feinmehl). Both Abram Motel and Ruchla were born in Lublin. From 1926 to 1940 Hesa has been noted in known sources as an owner of a pub on 2 Pijarska street [ul. Pijarska 2] in Lublin.

Szloma Szmerel and Hesa were married on September 9th, 1897, in Lublin. They had at least eleven children. The family lived on 5 Rybna street [ul. Rybna 5] in Lublin. The full history of the family remains unknown. It seems that only children of Bajla Wegsztajn and Szmul Majer Korenblit survived WWII.
