ANNA BOKSNER AND CHILDREN
Poland
cir bef 1920
Anna Boksner, with her children
Rebecca, Edith and Rose
from Abe Bucksner, son of Anna Boksner:
"My father came from Wierzbnik and it was my understanding that he
ran away from home to escape having to enter the yeshiva. I had
heard that his family was wealthy, and once he left home he had no
relationship with them. As you must know, names are difficult to
always interpret correctly, but his name was Philip (Fishel)
Bucksner. The last name was spelled variously like Boksner or
Buksner but we were named Bucksner here in United States. He
married my mother Anna (Chana, pictured above) in Lodz, and there
the three girls were born. There is a question as to my mother's
maiden name. She was the daughter of a widow and a widower with
many step-siblings, and she had only the one brother Max
(Motel) Green. The Wierzbnik-Starachowice (Yizkor) Book contained
the names of many members of my father's family in Hebrew, and I
was able to names were Yosef, Ita, Moshe, David, Shlomo, Dov,
Yeheshua, and Rachael. All perished at Treblinka. I do have
information that my mother's father's name was Joseph Greenberg,
so that was probably her maiden name. My father left Poland to
escape the war draft and my mother suffered until he was able to
bring her to the United States in 1920."
