Szalom Luksemburg
This photo was a gift for my sister Rywa Schifeldrin, nee Weinryb. This is Szalom Luksemburg. He was a sportsman, and he was a gym group instructor. The family Luksemburg was connected with the famous communist - Rosa Luxemburg. They lived in Zamosc right by the city square. Their family was relatively well off. Szalom was a fiancé of my sister, as I suppose you could call him. He was preparing to emigrate to Palestine, too, but kept putting it off, and in the end Rywa left without him. Szalom and his family left Poland in the 1930s. He didn't marry Rywa in Palestine.
