Oh my! The unidentified female, seated in the first row, [see above photo on left] is my mother, Paula (Pes-seh) Zysling Kempinski. My mother was born in 1924. She died last spring, May, 2007.

Some months before she died, as a joint project of Congregation Kol Am, in Freehold NJ and Brookdale Community College, a DVD was produced on which my mother is interviewed by Kol Am's rabbi, Brooke Susman.

During the interview, she spoke at some length of her home town, Klodowa. She said: 350 Jewish families lived in Klodawa; there were three synagogues and a bais (baet, house) "med-rish," meaning, I think, a an Orthodox house of study or school; there was a priest who was protective of the town's Jews, her father was a merchant or broker and farmed fish for the congregants in a two acre pond associated with the priest's church; her father served as treasurer for monies earned during social benefits held for the police and fire department (or a particular fire house?); after the German occupation there was a burning of Jewish books; the Germans stabled their horses in the synagogue. My mother was separated from her family in '39 went to two labor camps, Auschwitz and survived. She cannot bring herself to actually say it, but apparently a relative by marriage, whose job it was to remove corpses from the mobile gas vehicles at Chelmno, witnessed the death of her mother and two sisters.

My mother Paula Kempinski nee Pesseh Zysling was born in Klodawa in 1924. She is the unidentified, seated female in the photo of survivors taken at Laupheim, Germany. Her parents Baruch and Sara (Skowronski) Zysling were murdered by the Nazis. Also her sister Fay-geh, her brother Zalma, and another sister. The death of her mother and two sisters in a mobile gas vehicle at Chelmno was witnessed by a relative through marriage whose job it was to remove corpses from the vehicles.
