I don't remember where I got this information from, but it is false since I found the "Antrag" in his name which proves that in 1941 he was alive. In fact it is his brother-in-law, Moszek Szymon Milchior, the husband of Chana Ruchla, who died in 1935. I send you a photo of the eldest daughter of Hershl, Chana Ruchla (like her aunt) called Aniusia or Hanusia; she married in 1939 or 1940 (from a letter of Rozalia) with Moszek Michel Krol born in 1912 in Kowala.
