>>Our Family Story <<

In memory of our fathers, and to carry on their tradition of sharing with others, we have established the Irving Goldberg-Harry Sovel Athletic Scholarship at Rutgers University.

This is partial list of those ancestors lost in Pogroms and The Holocaust. Please feel free to send me names you would like to add. These names came from my research and Yad Vashem Pages of Testimony.
