Commentary by Gary Howard Goldberg, the great nephew of Yetta Cherr (Letter).

"Tante Yetta Cherr (Letter) and her mother, Hentsche Freida Latter (Glatter) departed Liverpool, England (for the United States) on October 1, 1920 on the S.S. Haverford and arrived in Philadelphia Harbor. NOTE: Hentsche Freida is listed as "Heni and Yetta is listed as "Jetti" near the bottom of the ship's manifest (aka Passenger Arrivals Record, PAR). Yetta was 18 years old. The last known residence (in Europe) of Yetta and Hentshe Freida was a 'shtetl' (village) by the name of Buchach.

Buchach is currently located in the western Ukraine. Buczacz (the Polish spelling) is located on the Strypa River (a tributary of the Dniester) in Ternopil Oblast (province). It is the administrative center of the Buchach Raion (district), and is about 80-90 miles south east of Lviv, in the historic region of Galicia. Prior to 1939 the town was located in Poland and Austro-Hungary."
