Heinek ZALCENSZTAJN lived in Lodz. He was born the 14th of july 1906. He worked as a technicien in the textile. He died in a concentration camp during the war. Heniek married by religion his moher's cousin Jadzia after she got her divorce: she was Jadzia KRAKOWSKA, they married together in 1938.

Jadzia KRAKOWSKA was the daughter of Mordechaï KRAKOWSKI. Mordechaï KRAKOWSKI was a brother of Mendel KRAKOWSKI, who was the father of Jakub KRAKOWSKI who was married with Rozia BORNSZTAJN, daughter of Usher BORNSZTAJN. And Usher BORNSZTAJN has a sister Frandla BORNSZTAJN, who was the mother of Heniek ZALCENSZATJN.

Heniek and Jadzia leaved Lodz and then lived in Baranovitch in the north-east of Warsaw, that was in the soviet occupied territories in 1940. Alla Zalcensztajn lived with them at this moment (sister of Heniek). Heniek was probably deported and then killed by the nazis in Treblinka concentration camp in or after 1942... It seems that his name is written in a nazi register of the ghetto of Lodz with his last adress (where he lived with Jadzia KRAKOWSKA) it is also mentioned 'abg' and written the date of the 3 of october 1942. It seems that (certain at 99%) a daughter of Jadzia KRAKOWSKA (from her first marriage) survived the war. She probably ignored her name and origines... Any information is welcome.
