Luci Werdiger

This is a picture of Luci Werdiger, my husband Stanislaw Wygodzki’s relative from France.

This picture was taken in Paris in the 1920s, before Luci’s wedding. On the back of the picture Luci Werdiger wrote an inscription for my father: “For dear Stasiek, for a keepsake from his cousin Luci before her wedding.”

My husband was from Bedzin. His name was Szyja. Stanislaw was his pen name before the war. His parents were Icchak and Rywa-Brajndla, nee Werdiger.

I know that Rywa-Brajndla's brother, Samuel Werdiger, was living in Paris with his wife Anii and daughter Luci.
