Davidovits and Bela Slomovits in about 1940. Helen Grossman
Dub was the third of nine children--eight girls and one boy.
Helen was born in December 1920 and was therefore twenty
years old when the family was deported from Vinif to Poland
by Hungarians in 1941. These are her two older sisters, who
were married. Ratzah was born in 1916 and Bela was born
around 1914. Bela lived in Bichkiv. Ratzah died at Belzec in
September 1942 along with her two small children.
