Hyman “Chaim” Wolfe HERSHKOWITZ

• Name	Hyman “Chaim” Wolfe HERSHKOWITZ
  Gender	Male
  Died	Poland
  Notes	According to Mimi and Sylvie: They had been told he was not a nice or enlightened man. He beat their father cruelly and favored the younger brother. After Sam escaped Poland, he regularly sent money to the family, eventually sending money for his sister to come to New York. She did, but after she died of the flu in 1918, although Sam continued to send them money, his father refused to send anyone else in the family to die in a foreign country. Sam continued to send money to his father during World War II and continued to write, but after the war he was unable to find his father or brother. According to Mitchell: My grandfather once told me (when he was living in Far Rockaway - Arverne) in the mid 1970s that his younger brother once accidentally broke his arm and that his father beat him (Sam) in anger even though he had nothing to do with the accident.
