About Aharon Vigoda
Born in Poland (as clearly indicated by his grandson Eliezer Weisberger in his Yad Vashem testimony as well as oral testimony from his grand-daughter Malka Chaimowitz) . At some point he moved to Austro-Hungary (just like his brother Shraga Feivish), probably to escape grinding poverty and deprivation. He changed his surname from Vigoda to Weisberger--perhaps to avoid a military draft of perhaps to better fit in (Vigoda has a decidedly polish ring to it)..
He worked as a Shokhet in various parts of Hungary. His last residence was in Pocspetri, Hungary.
His first wife was Malka whom he may have married while he was still living in Poland unfortunately died young leaving the children orphaned at a young age. Our ancestor Yitzchak Meir was about 9 years old when his mother died and his father remarried to a woman named Dina Polochek. Yitchak Meir lived in Yeshiva dormitories and subsisted with difficulty, only occasionally visiting his father and stepmother in Pocspetri.
R. Aharon was murdered in the Holocaust.
