Recently, members of the third and even fourth generation of Scharf and Eisenberg descendants have joined, hopefully ensuring its continuation. In the twenty-first century, Freida Sima’s dreams of reuniting her family have taken a different turn, but that same family feeling among the cousins is still there.
It is to them that I have dedicated this series, with love. It is my story, it is their story, and above all it is Freida Sima’s story.
How this series came about is a story in itself, worthy of its own installment next month.
This installment of the Freida Sima series is dedicated to the memory of Freida Sima’s husband, Max (Mordechai Yitzchak ben Avraham) Kraus, whose yahrzeit is Tishrei 18, which this year fell on October 20.
