What's in a name? A long search about the mystery about my father and his two
brothers having been adopted despite the fact that their loving parents were
alive, brought them up and continued to be the most important persons in their
lives until they perished in Auschwitz. A long search through archives, museum
documents, newspapers, phone books, cemeteries, interviewing strangers and
finding unknown relatives.
Stephanie Newman, Editor of Generations
Solving the mysteries of people in
three
photos given to her over thirty years ago through contacting a
little-known
relative who furnished information about two different branches of the

One branch was added utilizing Ancestry.com databases, as well as
obituaries
from the Detroit Free Press archives over the past ten years.
