..................... 3 B. Harris b: unknown d: in Brooklyn, New York
Notes on B. Harris:
.............Beniamin Heryng was the son of Yosef Duwid Herying and Hena Bard. After years of searching for him in Poland, I finally found a record for his emigration to the USA: Hering, Benjamin, origin Rubiszow, Russia, age 43, born 1867, emigrated 1910. He likely settled in New York. A Bennie Herring (Hering) was in the 1930 census with wife Dora. Bennie was born April 15, 1888 and emigrated in 1914. Dwojra was born in 1888 and emigrated from Hrubieszow in Dec. 1924 with a daughter, Chana (born Abt. 1815). Bennie is in the New York County Supreme Court Naturalization Petition Index, 1907-24. There was also a Berko/Baruch Geryng born in Hrubieszow in 1903 (akt 119).
.............In 1948, my grandparents came to New York. They met my grandfather's first cousin, B. Harris in Brooklyn, NY. When the family came to the U.S., the surname was likely changed to Harris. Please contact me if you're descended from Heryng or Harris of Hrubieszow.

......... 2 Josef Hersz Biterman b: September 6, 1870 in Hrubieszow, Poland d: Oct. 1939 in Hrubieszow, Poland
............ occupation: farm operator/merchant
........... + Sura Gela Golomb b: Aug. 10, 1875 in Krylow m: Aug. 16, 1896 in Krylow d: 1915/1916 in Hrubieszow
Notes on Josef and Sara Biterman:
............. The marriage certificate states that it occurred in Krylow on Aug. 16, 1896 at 6pm. 57 year old Mordko Biterman (a cousin, not the father of the groom) and 35 year old Chaskiel Gran came to announce the marriage of Joseph Gershon Biterman, aged 23, born in Hrubieszow, son of Moszko and Marya [nee Adler] and Sura Gela Golomb, aged 21, daughter of Idel + Chawa [nee Kiper]. Rabbi Moshko Adamszek (Adamczuk)* performed the ceremony. Josef and Sara had four children; Yosef worked in the farm (dairy) industry. According to oral tradition, Josef Biterman's mother, Miriam, was living with him until she reached the age of 102 years. The Cymet family used to transport goods to her for Shabbat (a gift on behalf of Riwka nee Biterman and Josef Cymet, see below). Sara (Golomb) Biterman died in 1915 of gall stones. Yosef Biterman remarried after the death of his wife.
.............* Note: Rabbi Moyshe Hacohen Adamchyk, the Rabbi of Krilow, who was originally from Maciow, Wolyn district, occupied the position of trustee to the religious community of Chelm for several decades. As an objective judge he would not deviate one iota from the "Shulkhan Arukh" (the Orthodox Religious Laws). He was the oldest Rabbi in town. He was known in the entire rabbinical world as a great Talmudic scholar and an honest man. His son published the well-known book "Gan Ruva", a commentary on "Pri Mgadim". In the book one will find an interesting introduction of his father, the Rabbi of Krilow. The Krilower Rabbi passed away in the first year of the German occupation. Afler many long efforts, the Nazi authorities gave permission to bury him in a Jewish cemetery.

..................... 3 Judah "Judka" Lejb Biterman b: Dec. 6, 1901 in Hrubieszow d: Aug. 30, 1975 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
......................... + Bluma Folk b: Abt. 1905 in Hrubieszow, Poland d: 1945 in Stutthof, Baltic Sea, Prussia
Notes on Judah and Bluma Biterman:
.............Yehuda Biterman and his family lived in an apartment that Josef and Riwka (Biterman) Cymet leased to the Biterman family. It was located in Podzamcze #15 (today #1 or #10) in Hrubieszow. Judka and his business partners manufactured grain and distributed it to bidders. The location of the Biterman residence was very near to the Hrubieszow market place (map).
.............Bluma Folk Biterman and her daughter Sala were in the Hrubieszow ghetto beginning in July of 1941. They are believed to have been part of a small labor camp of about 100 people set up in Hrubieszow (on Jatkowa Street) to clean out the Jewish homes. These were the last Jewish survivors of Hurbieszow. When that camp was liquidated in July 1943, all the men and women were sent to the Budzyn Labor Camp. The few children that had been hidden in Hrubieszow by the camp members were shot. Sala, who was around age 15, continued living and working in terrible conditions. In Budzyn, they avoided being killed in the "Harvest Festival" -- the murder spree in which the Nazis liquidated all inmates at all the remaining Polish labor camps, only because the Budzyn inmates had some skills in assembling airplanes, and their slave labor employer (Henkel) needed their work.
.............In February 1944, the Russians were getting close, so some of the prisoners from Hrubieszow were sent to Mielec, where they received the "KL" tatoos on their arms. In August 1944 they were sent from Mielec to Wieliczka. While men who were previously part of the cleanup at Hrubieszow had been grouped with the women up to this point, they were separated after Wieliczka. The men were sent to Flossenberg and the women were sent to Auschwitz. Bluma and Sala continued to live. Then they were sent to Stutthof near the Baltic Sea. This transfer probably was in September or October of 1944. The conditions in the camp were brutal. In 1945, about 5,000 prisoners from Stutthof subcamps were marched to the Baltic Sea coast, forced into the water, and machine-gunned at a location called Jantarny (near Kalingrad) in Russia. A surviving witness who was related to Bluma by marriage, Pesia Folk, told my family after the war that Bluma and Sala both were murdered in the Baltic Sea in 1945. Only a handful of Stutthof prisoners survived by swimming to shore and dodging Nazi bullets.
.............My grandfather was sent from Hrubieszow to Budzyn Labor Camp and then was sent to Plaszow and sub-camps Wieliczka and Mielec (April 1943-July 27, 1944), Flossenburg (Aug. 4, 1944-Sept. 7, 1944) and sub-camp Leitmeritz (Sept. 9, 1944-Oct. 13, 1944), Dachau and sub-camp Augsburg-Pfersee (Oct. 23, 1944-Nov. 16, 1944), Natzweiler sub-camp Leonberg (Nov. 16, 1944-March 1945), and then Dauchau and sub-camp Schleissheim (March 1945-May, 1945). From Leonberg, prisoners were likely marched to Dachau on very little food. He was liberated from the Dachau sub-camp at Schleissheim in May of 1945. In Mielec the Nazis tattooed his arm with "KL", which stands for Konzentrationslager. KL tattooing was used by the Nazis to brand and dehumanize inmates selected for forced labor at several Concentration Camps in German-occupied Poland.
.............The Flossenberg archives list him as prisoner number 14207 and indicates he arrived on Aug. 4, 1944 and was transferred to Dachau on Oct. 13, 1944. They list him as "Zudka Bittermann" and say he was a schlosser (metalworker or locksmith). The Leitmeritz archive says his prisoner number was 14207 and that he arrived at Flossenberg Camp from Plaszow camp. An online database for Dachau prisoners says he was in Dachau from Oct. 23, 1944 to Nov. 16, 1944, his prisoner number was 118212, and his ID was 4155. He had arrived from Flossenberg and was sent to the Natzweiler Concentration Camp on Nov. 16, 1944. The Natzweiler camp archive says he was a prisoner at Leonberg, a sub-camp in Germany, and his prisoner number was 38624. A listing in Sharit Ha-Platah lists my grandfather as "I. Binermann" (I would be for Iudah, another form of Judka) and says that Schleissheim, Bavaria, Germany was his last known location after being liberated from Dachau.
.............Judah Biterman emigrated to New York from Bremen with wife his wife Tauba in January and February of 1948 on the ship Marine Marlin. He became a locksmith, store owner, and laborer by trade. He took the name Edward Biterman when assimilating in the United States. Despite assimilation, the family was still religiously observant. Mr. Biterman became a naturalized U.S. citizen on November 25, 1953. Meyer Migdal's Holocaust survival testimony explains what went on at various points of both Bluma and Judah's terrible ordeal in ghettos, labor camps, and concentration camps. Mr. Megdal was also from Hrubieszow.

Notes on Rivka and Jojzen Cymet:
.............Yosef Cymet was the owner of butcher shops with his brothers. They also had a contract with the army to provide them with meat. He and Riwka possibly lived in the same building as their nephew, Jehuda Biterman and his family. Josef and Rivka were very religious. Rivka was superstitious. She was caring, sensitive, and warm.
