Anna Greenberg Bucksner with 3 daughters, Rebecca, Edith, and Rose, abt 1920. See notes.

"My father came from Wierzbnik and it was my understanding that he ran away from home to escape having to enter the yeshiva. I had heard that his family was wealthy, and once he left home he had no relationship with them.

As you must know, names are difficult to always interpret correctly, but his name was Philip Fishel Bucksner. The last name was spelled variously like Boksner or Buksner but we were named Bucksner here in the US. He married my mother Anna Chana in Lodz, and there the three girls were born. There is a question as to my mother's maiden name. She was the daughter of a widow and widower with many step siblings, and she had only the one brother Max Motel Green. The Wierzbnik Startachowice Yizkor book contained the names of many member of my fathers family in Hebrew, including Yosef, Ita, Moshe, David, Shlomo, Dov, Yeheshua, and Rachael. All perished in Treblinka. I do have information that my mother's father's name was Joseph Greenberg, so that was probably her maiden name. My father left Poland to escape the war draft and my mother suffered until he was able to bring her to the United States in 1920."
