My mother's siblings:

Leszek Feuersten Nadler

Leszek [Shlomo] Nadler [in a photo on his own and on the right of the group photo] was born 4.8.1909 in Boryslaw, died in 1989 in Sydney. It seems that Leszek used that photograph when he was planning to change his name to an Aryan sounding name of Mieczyslaw Barzniewski [?]. I don't recall being told that he tried to do that so early into the War. When the War ended, however, he changed his name to NOWAK to correspond with the name his brother Edek acquired during the War. Leszek married Olga Nanyniec Nowak who was recognized as Righteous in 2004. Their sons were John, b. 1945-2001 and Czeslaw [Cecil], b.1949-

Edek Nadler-Schuss [Edward, on left of photo] was born in 1911 in Boryslaw and died in Israel in 1976. Since the War he used Nowak as his surname. After the War, he lived in Sao Paolo, Brazil but died during his visit to Israel for a family re-union. It was 30 years since the family was all together since they all went their way after the War. Unlike his brother, Edek was known in Boryslaw as Edek Schuss [Schuss being his grand-mother's maiden name.]

Alka was also known as Schuss, thus Alka Schuss.

Yankel also had a half brother, Abraham Nadel.

They shared the same father Chaim Mordechai Nadler whose second wife was Hinde Schuss. [see above] At some stage the surname NADEL was used by Abraham and his children, and the name NADLER was used by Yankel Yakob and his family.

At some stage the surname NADEL was used by Abraham and his children, and the name NADLER, was used by Yankel and his children.
