Our friend Cypora Zonsztajn (nee Jabion) and her daughter Rachela, born in Siedlce, September 1941.  August 22, 1942, the whole family, including Jablon grandparents, were shut up in the Siedlce Ghetto. The Germans gradually took the Jews to the extermination camp in Treblinka. When it was Cypora's turn, she handed over 11-month-old Rachela to Sabina Zawadzka.
