Jay Lefkowitz Houston, Tx ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Simon Bendory" To: "Hungarian SIG" Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 9:51 PM Subject: Re: No words to describe I work across the street from the World Trade Center in One Liberty Plaza. My office windows were blown in by the blast when the southern tower collapsed. Thank God I was already on my way home. Thank God I made it home safely today, without a scratch. I will be bensching gomel in shul on Thursday. Locked in my desk sits my great-grandmother's siddur, published in Vienna in 1878. I had an appointment to meet with a book conservator tomorrow to have it properly preserved. Inside the cover, my GGM, then my GM, listed the births, marriages, and deaths in our family from the death of my GGGM and GGGF in 1893 through the marriage of Uncle Charlie in1932. The text is below. This siddur survived pogroms in Hungary, the journey to America, and 3 generations. I won't know if it survived today's tragedy until I can get back into my office, and I don't know when that will be. Thank God I have a scan of the writing inside the cover.
