Hello, Fred and Heidi, it’s so nice to hear from each of you.

Fred, thanks so much for letting me know about your connection with Leon Kull and your thanks for this story. Much appreciated!

Heidi, your project to restore the synagogue is really impressive. I forwarded your comment to Leon so he can be in touch. Please keep me posted on your progress.

I recently visited Oshmyany and found my great grandmother’s synagogue. I am planning on restoring the synagogue and have spoken to people with the town. I need help on how to organize this. Would like to get in touch with Leon. I want to work on raising the funds and have some preliminary plans.

So since Leon and I are distant DNA cousins, his grandfather and I may well have shared a chromosome or 3…never know where you might find a new relative…thanks for this interesting story.

Hello!

We’re posting a review of a book dealing with the experience of Jewish families in Russia & Poland at the turn of the century, roughly 1881-1914. Would it be possible to obtain permission to use the photograph of the Kull family, from 1910?
