"David,
Patricia can contact two of Eva Sternlichts daughters who live in Queens, NY. I don't have their address but I know that they are still living. I am not sure which of the three they are: Miriam Warmbrand, Sylvia Rausch and/or Shirley Decker. Their sister Jean Chall died several years ago. I am sure that they can provide a lot of information. All were born in Szedszisow. In fact, Jean, before she died corroborated a lot that my grandfather told me as well as Pani Plata-Urbanska, their Polish-Catholic neighbor.

Jeanne Sternlicht Chall, a psychologist, a leading expert in reading research and instruction for over 50 years, and professor emerita at the Graduate School of Education (GSE), died on Saturday, Nov. 27, of congestive heart failure at her home in Cambridge, Mass. She was 78. Chall’s work influenced scholarship on reading and the teaching of reading in schools and universities throughout the country. She was among the first to describe learning to read as a developmental process and to advocate for the use of both phonics and exposure to challenging literature as the best method of teaching young children to read. She produced the definitive study of reading instruction in her 1967 book, Learning to Read: the Great Debate (McGraw-Hill). "Jeanne identified and studied the crucial issues in education decades before others," said GSE Dean Jerome T. Murphy. "Her work included examinations of schooling and instruction, of the relationship of poverty and disability to reading difficulties and school achievement, and of the interdisciplinary nature of learning to read. She was enormously influential in helping us understand how people actually learn to read and in ensuring that the research evidence was used in the classroom to help children. She was a beloved member of our community, prized for her dedication to her work, her students, and to the pleasure and value of reading; we will miss her deeply."
