About Zvie Chaim (Harry H) Kreinik

"On the paternal side, Zvie Chaim and Rachel Kreinik, lived in a town larger than my village. They were in the garment business, (which Father [Joseph] really hated but wasn't trained for anything else) and once a year the sons, Nathan, Zalmon and Aaron, would take a load of finished garments to Krakow, where there was a Kirmash, a sort of Carnival and open market, to sell their stock."

Leah Kreinik Jacobowitz, _As I Remember_, 1962, pp. 12-13.

Steve Maskell: "Our great-grandfather was born Joseph (or Yossel) Kreinik, but as a child he got very sick. So, according to the custom at that time, his parents added another name to his so that the angel of death wouldn't find him. Usually, they just picked a name out of the bible and added it to the given name. " Email, 2010.
