STEMPA

Per entry on www.klodawa.org 3/25/06, Enrique Chelminsky (Mexico City): “My grandmother, on my father's side, who lived and/or was born in Klodawa, was Hannah Eidel Reshewski, who married Hillel Chelminsky, my grandfather.

​

Email from Enrique Chelminsky 4/3/06: "I left Klodawa in 1933 at the age of 5 or 6. I do not know of any Klodawa survivor living in Mexico except my cousin Malkah Rabinowitz (née Stempa), who left Klodawa at a similar age 6 years later, and the brothers Zychlinsky. One of them I believe survives."

Israel Stempa, grandson(and namesake) of Israel Hillel Chelminsky. Israel's mother is Estera Chelminski married to Joseph Stempa. I met up with him in his office in Mexico City, around the corner from his cousin, Enrique Chelminsky. February 2017.
