Birth	9 JUL 1879	Place: Lomza, Poland Notes: "Image Before My Eyes: A Photographic History of Jewish Life in Poland, 1 864-1939" by Lucjan Dobroszycki and Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett; Scho cken Books, c1977; page 258 Lomze/Lomzhe/Lomza, Bialystok province. Tot al population: 22,014, Jewish population 9,131. Jewish 41.5% naturalization gived bdate as 5 July 1888 1910 census gives age as 30 ++++++++++++++ In the 16th century, Lomza, which lies on the shore of the Narew River, w as the third largest city - behind Warsaw and Plock - in the Mazovia re gion. Its importance was the result of its location at the intersection o f two important trade routes that cut through Europe at the time. Today , the city is still an important junction for international road transp ortation. Through it runs the shortest route from central Poland to the B altic States and Finland. Its location caused the history of Lomza, mar ked by significant periods of economic development as well as destructi on during wars, to reflect the history of Poland. After World War II, t hree-fourths of the city lay in ruins, and the number of inhabitants wa s reduced by 60%. Visible growth was not noted until the 1970's and 198 0's, when large cotton, furniture, and food-processing plants were buil t here. Economic transformation in the 1990's, however, resulted in the c ollapse of the local industry, which was not able to adapt to market co nditions.
