Beatrice,
1937 |

| |
|
Beatrice Fields is the granddaughter of Michel (de farber - dyer)
Sztabinski (1848-1937). She was born in New York in 1910. Michel had 5 children,
4 of whom left Radzilow for America and never went back, including Beatrice's father
Abraham Sztabinski (Meyers in America). She was the only one of her family to ever return or
even visit
the shtetl. Her arrival was a proud moment for Michel, as he paraded her
about town and showed her off to the locals. It must've been quite an
event when someone from America came to the small town. Michel died two year later, in
1937. The son that stayed in Radzilow, Jankiel Meyer, was killed in 1941,
along with his wife.Beatrice did not
take a camera during her trip, but Michel gave her a photo of himself (see
below) as a memento to take with her. She is 97 years old (as of July 2007) and
currently lives in Israel. |
