Krolik Family
David Haim Krolik is Leah Krolik
Goldstein's great grandfather and was born in the first third of the
nineteenth century in Parisov Poland. He was a glazier and was married to
Goldie. David and Goldie's two children were Shaindel and Leah's grandfather
(Alter) Ben Zion. Alter married twice and while we don't know his first
wife's name we know that they had a daughter named Sarah Leah. After his wife
died Alter Ben Zion married Chayah Zalcman, a widow with a son named Leyzer
who he adopted. Alter Ben Zion and Chayah had four more children, Haim
(Leah's father), Rochel, David and Faige. The Krolik family migrated from Parisov to the Praga
district of Warsaw. Faige died as an infant. Sarah Leah, her husband Melech Nurenberg
and their children all died at the hands of the Nazis in about 1942. Leyzer
moved to Paris about 1934 and he, his wife Pola (Pessa) and two of their four
children Annette & Joeseph were deported to Auschwitz and perished. Joel
and Rosette the two oldest children were spirited away by a neighbor the
afternoon before the Nazi round up and survived the war in hiding. The
remaining children of Alter and Haya escaped Warsaw and lived out the war in
Russia. Chaya Zalcman Krolik died in 1929 and Alter Ben Zion starved to death
in the Warsaw Ghetto.
In about 1935
Haim married Yeze Domb and about a year later they had a daughter named
Chaya. With the onset of the war and the Nazi round up of men Yeze encouraged
Haim to leave Warsaw but she remained believing that she would be safe. Yeze
and Chaya both perished in the holocaust. Haim and his younger brother David left Warsaw in about 1940
and went to Russian occupied Ludsk, Poland and stayed there about two years
until the Russians sent them deep into the woods. He next went to Krasodar
(Russia) where he spent the rest of the war there. His Rochel spent most of
the war with him as did Ben Zion Moscovitch whom she married in about 1941. After the war Haim first returned first
to Warsaw to seek out his lost family and then eventually to a dsplace
persons camp Lindz Austria where he met and married Toby Wiernik. In 1948 Toby and Haim and their
infant daughter Leah immigrated to Canada. David Krolik and Rochel and Ben
Zion Moscovitch and their two young children, Chaya and Tzipporah immigrated
to Israel at about the same time. Wiernik History
