| Vivian Kahn: MOSKOVITS/Lastomir | I was in Michalovce in August and found the grave of Leopold (Aryeh ben Menachem haLevi) MOSKOVITS, a previously unknown relative, who is buried next to my great-grandparents, Markusz (Marek, Mordche haLevi) MOSKOVITS and Sali KOHN. Leopold was reportedly born in Lastomir in 1861 and moved to Nagymihaly (now Michalovce) and had two wives (Mali GRUENSTEIN and Fani KESSLER) and 15 children, at least 3 of whom were Holocaust victims. I know of a Dovid MOSKOVITS from Lastomir who married Hani NEUMAN and was living in Szobrancz before 1895. Not sure if there's a connection. Please contact me if you have any info on MOSKOVITS families from Lastomir.
