I AM WORKING ON A THEORY: It is possible that Simon married a woman named Simka and they had a few children. Source is the Yad Vashem database. I searched for the name "Elishevitz" among those murdered. I have a cluster of family with a father Simon and mother Simka. It's possible it is THIS Simon, only using his age as a guide.
