I am originally from Mexico City but I am living in Houston, TX. My father is Max (Meyer) Sherman Krelitz, son of Leah Krelitz who was Rivka's sister. She went to Mexico City on vacation to see Rivka and was told not go back because of the bad situation in Europe. Unfortunately, my grandmother died a couple of years ago but my Aunt Rivka is still alive; she is 95 years old. My father has a sister Esther Sherman Krelitz who also lives in Mexico City. We have pictures of the whole family and even the letters in Yiddish that warned my grandmother not to go back to Europe and they are pretty dramatic. The three children you mentioned Rivka had were Elias, Motel and Akiba, who passed away a couple of years ago. Motel and Elias are alive and well and I think my father talks with Elias once in a while. I have no idea why my grandmother does not appear in your list of the Krelitz family but I can tell you my father was totally overcome by emotion to find out he has other living relatives as he was told everybody died in the holocaust. Please reply to my e-mail at your earliest convenience. My fathers lives in Mexico City. He is also fluent in English and both of us are sincerely looking forward to hearing from you.
