Biography

Chaskiel Kuśmierski was the son of Szyja Kuśmierski, a weaver originally from Kaluszyn, and Itta (nee Gilbart) Kuśmierski. They lived in Łódź and Chaskiel had two younger siblings, also born in Łódź, Estera (b. 1930) and Jankiel (b. 1936). The entire family, including Chaskiel, is listed in the Łódź Ghetto documents. Those documents do not state what happened to them, but none of them survived. Most likely, Chaskiel’s parents and siblings were murdered in the Chełmno death camp. Other documents show that Chaskiel Kuśmierski was sent from the ghetto on an unknown date to the Groß-Rosen concentration camp, and from there to Mauthausen (Ebensee), where he perished. He was not even 21 years old.

Miriam Bulwar David-Hay, granddaughter of his first cousin Boruch Kaluszyner (Chaskiel Kuśmierski’s father, Szyja Kuśmierski, and my grandfather’s mother, Sura Braindl [nee Kuśmierska] Kaluszyner, were brother and sister. They lived in two apartments in the same building.)
