The Kac-Charenzowska family
Estera Charenzowska, her daughter Sara and her husband Lejzer Kac, ca. 1940

The Kac-Charenzowskas lived on Rue de Nancy in Brussels. A Polish Jew, Lejzer Kac, 38, was a tailor. His wife, Estera Charenzowska, also 38, was likewise born in Poland in Lodz, and worked as a tailor. Their child, Sara Kac, born in Brussels in 1932, was 10 years old when the Rue de Nancy was devastated by the great raid of the night of 3- 4 September 1942. Deported on 12 September on Transport 9, there is no record of the family’s arrival at Auschwitz.
