Max and Sara Lea (Frydland) Hurwicz with their four daughters (Rachel, Gala, Felicia, Helenka), Adek‘s sisters. (An older sister, Dorothy, died young.)

They were the first “Hurwicz” family in our genetic line. (Prior to Max Hurwicz, the family name was Kotzin. He took the name Hurwicz to avoid the draft: The Kotzins had two sons, the Hurwicz family had none. An only son would not be drafted. So Max was registered as a Hurwicz.)

Leo said, “My father is not in the picture because he was in Warsaw.”

So this picture must have been taken between 1919 (when Adek returned to Warsaw with Zina and Leo) and 1927 (when Max died).

Helenka, who emigrated to the U.S. from Russia in 1973, is probably the daughter standing just behind and to the right of Sara Lea (closer to Max).
