Zylbernadels in the holocaust

The following persons with the name Zylbernadel or variant spellings were known to have perished in the holocaust:

The oldest family members, known to have been murdered, in the holocaust, were Elkanen from Belzyce and Elieza from Warsaw, both in their early sixties, at the time. Elieza persished along with his wife, Bluma and their six children.

Fourteen of the victims were born in the 19th century, so were at least in their forties, at the time. Twenty-six of them were about thirty or under, including three year old Yehosuoa, from Warsaw and about fourteen teenagers - eleven from Belzyce and three from Warsaw.

There follows a list of all Zylbernadels known to have perished at the hands of cold-bloodied murderers, from 1939 to 1943, by which time almost all were dead:

Belzyce branch (born in or resident in):

N.B. There are 32 names in this role call, but it may not represent all those from Belzyce, that perished. A few of these names may be duplicates and refer to the same person. The Germans moved Jews from the entire area into the ghetto, that they set up in Belzyce, so not all may have been resident in Belzyce, itself, before the war. At least 6 were from the same family, that of Aharon and Bluma.

* Kune is almost certainly the same as the Kune Hersz Silbernadel, who is reported to have been murdered, in cold blood, along with his two sons, Jankiel and Uszer, in Belzyce, by Kurt Engels of the Gestapo, in 1941.Some meat that was found on someone was traced to have originated with the family.

The reference occurs on page 17, in the book 'Jakub's World' by Alicia Nitecki and Jack Terry, published in 2005, by State University of New York Press, Albany.

N.B. Engles was finally arrested in the early 1960s, but committed suicide in prison, before reaching trial.
