Menachem Mendel Manuszewicz (Manishevitz)

According to my cousin Manny Manis, my Great Great Grandfather and his Grandfather Menachem Mendel Maniscewicz immigrated to New York City between the first and second world wars only to return to Poland because New York City did not provide a satisfactory Jewish way of life for him. He passed just prior to WWII. This photo was in the possession of my great Aunt Bertha Manis. The Yiddish writing on the rear of the photo suggests that it was sent by the one female sibling of my Grandmother Nechama who remained in Poland and was lost in the Holocaust. "This is a photo of our beloved father; the photo of our mother was lost in the luggage" .....Manny says this man is the spitting image of his father, and concludes that it must be his Grandfather Menachem Mendel - Jay Sobel
