Photo title: Abram and Chinka Imiak
Place of residence: Lomza, Poland
Date of photograph: prob 1930s
From granddaughter Dorothy Katz Drillich:
"My grandfather's name was Abram Imiak (1872-cir 1943). My
grandmother Chinka's (1868-cir1943) maiden name was
Piatkowski. They were born and lived in Lomza and died in
the Holocaust. He was a very religious man, a melamed
(teacher), and earned a living teaching at the Lomza
Yeshiva.
I remember going to the post office to send clothing to their family in
Poland. It had to be used clothes, not new as the family
had to pay for it on the other end. The clothes gave my
relatives some sort of income. If it didn't fit, they
could sell it..."
"...We were a family of teachers and carpenters. Only four
in the family photo (pictured, left) survived by
immigrating in the late 1920s. Isaac went to Russia,
Michel and Chaska Gutman Imiak went to live in Cuba, and
Rachel immigrated to Israel, and then to the United
States. The rest of the people in the photo and their
families died in the Holocaust: Leah Imiak Kreplak and her
children, Pesach and Sora Krzywonos Imiak and their
children and Rifka Imiak Kieller. My father Chaim Leizer
Imiak, mother Chaja Feige Jagodnik and uncle Jake (Nechemyia)
had already immigrated to the United States when the
photograph was taken."
