Source of the photo is this memoir by Chaya’s daughter Thea, available to read for free on PDF at the link. Thea got sent to the UK on a Kindertransport in August 1939; her transport was the last one out before the war began and the Kindertransports stopped.
More info about Zbaszyn. The Germans expelled these “Polish” Jews (many of whom had been born in Germany or had lived there for decades) and forced them over the border, but Poland refused to accept them and so they were stuck in this border area. Thea says in her book that they had to sleep in horse stalls and the like. A lot of people died due to the poor conditions. Chaya, as a widow with four kids to look after, must have had a very hard time. She was ultimately able to send three of them away to safety, but not her youngest son Leopold who shared her fate.
The family of Herschel Grynszpan were among those expelled. Herschel was in Paris at the time. When he found out, he killed a German diplomat. The Nazis used this as an excuse to start Kristallnacht.
Rest in peace.
May her and her child's memory be a blessing.
