All of the Descendants

At the age of 93 Yitta Schwartz died. She left behind perhaps 2,000 living descendants, and her 15 children. Her family size was a great amount, and maybe one of the largest clans from surviving the Holocaust. She was devoted to Hasidic rituals, and attending events of all of her descendants. With so many people in her Yitta’s family, the events took up most of the year. The family insists that Schwartz would remember every person’s face with-out hesitation. As her tribute to God she believed it was to bear children. She had given birth 18 different times with 15 surviving children. Two of them were lost in the Holocaust and one in a summer camp accident. To make bread it took 12 pounds of dough. Her husband died 34 years ago. Though she had many responsibilities the family says she never acted as if she was not a widow. Everyday went on the same way even making clothes out of shirts that cost about 20 cents each. Yitta sewed the 20 pink and white shirts with mother of pearl buttons. Over all she was a great hard working women, that no matter what would take the challenge and get through it.
