Dear Mr. Preker,
I found your website dedicated to the Jews who lived and died in Debica a wonderful memorial. As outlined in the attached document, I am researching members of my extended family, who lived and died in Dembica, all descendents of the Chassidic Rebbe, Zvi Elymelech of Dynow (lived approx. 1785-1841), also know as the Bnei Yissaschar by the name of his best known sefer.

I would appreciate your posting this document on your web site. Please refer directly to me anyone who has a specific interest in this family.

Please list the following Dembica family names on your web:

Lishe or Lescha, Reiner, Spira, Gewirtz, Reis

Best regards,

David J. Waxman

Descendants of Yeshaya David SPIRA

ben Meshulum Zishe Spira, ben Zvi Elymelech Spira of Dynow

 

Generation No. 1

1. YESHAYA DAVID4 SPIRA (MESHULUM ZISHE BEN ZVI ELIMELECH3, ZVI ELIMELECH OF DINOV ('BNEI YISSASCHAR')2, PESACH1 LANGSAM) died Bef. 1906. He married RIVKA FRIMET. She died Bef. 1895.

Notes for YESHAYA DAVID SPIRA:

Grandson of Zvi Elimelech of Dinov, the 'Bnei Yissaschar'. Yeshaya David Spira and his wife Rivka Frimet had one son and six daughters. Four of the daughters lived in Sendziszow ('Sendeshov') and two in Dembica. The children of their son Yitzchok Yehuda lived in Wielopole (Vielipoli) and Jedlicze (Yedlitch) These towns are all located within 50 km (30 miles) of each other. The nearest larger towns, Reisha (Rzeszow) and Krosno, are about midway between Krakow and Lvov (Lemberg), and are also not far from Dinov and Blusiv. Apparently, Yeshaya David's father Meshulum Zishe died young, while his father the Rebbe was still alive. Young Yeshaya David was raised in the home of the Rebbe.

Notes for RIVKA FRIMET:

The families of Yeshaya David Spira and Rivka Frimet were nearly decimated by the Shoah (Holocaust). Four of their daughters (Chana Mindel, Dreyzil, Nechama Yita and Layah) were apparently murdered by the Nazis when they were elderly (in their 70's) as were many of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Only one child of Yeshaya David and Rivka Frimet, Sima Spira and her husband Pinchas Schein, had earlier migrated from Europe to the US (abt. 1906). The circumstances leading to that emigration are not known. Miraculously, four of the six siblings of Sima who remained in Europe had at least one grandchild who survived the Holocaust. These European-born great grandchildren of Yeshaya David and Rivka Frimet, and their descendents, are alive today and thriving in the US and in Israel, and have contributed significantly to the information about their branches of this family tree.

Children of YESHAYA SPIRA and RIVKA FRIMET are:

2. i. CHANA MINDEL5 SPIRA, d. Holocaust.

3. ii. DREIZEL SPIRA, d. Holocaust.

iii. NECHAMA YITA SPIRA, d. 1942, Holocaust; m. MR. REINER.

Notes for NECHAMA YITA SPIRA:

Married three times, but never had any children. Lived in Dembica. Was shot by the Nazis in Dembica when the Nazis killed the elderly Jews in 1942.

 

iv. LAYAH SPIRA, d. died in Holocaust; m. MR. ANKER.

Notes for LAYAH SPIRA:

Lived in Sendziszow, had one son and three daughters: Malcha, Ruchcha, Chana, all of whom perished in the Holocaust. The married name of one of her daughters was Neybenzahl (lived near Krakow).

Layah Spira was most likely related to Chaim Anker of Chicago, who was known to several members of Sima Spira's family in America. Dave Schein mentioned that Chaim Anker had no children. Whether Chaim Anker was Layah (Anker) Spira's son, or whether he was a relative of Layah Spira's husband, is not known.
