Rubin Family photographs

Sucher Rubin (later Sol Rubin, 1922-2017) was born on February 14, 1922 in Radom, Poland to Jacob Rubin and Chaja Rubin (née Wolanowska). He had one brother, Gedalja Rubin. After the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, Sucher was forced into the Dęblin ghetto. He was sent to a forced-labor camp in Dęblin on October 15, 1942. In July 1944 he was transferred to Częstochowa where he was likely a forced-laborer at a HASAG factory (Hugo Schneider AG) in the area. Częstochowa was liberated on January 17, 1945 by the Soviet Red Army.

After the war, Sucher was reunited with Lola Teichman (later Lola Rubin), whom he previously knew. They went to the Foehrenwald displaced persons camp in November 1945. Sucher and Lola married in the camp, and their son Jakob Rubin (later Jack Rubin) was born in Foehrenwald in 1946. Sucher was a master locksmith and provided professional training to other survivors while in the camp through ORT schools set up in the DP camp. The family immigrated to the United States in 1949 aboard the USS General R. M. Blatchford. They settled in Michigan where their second son Marvin was born. Sucher and Lola went on to have 10 grandchildren and 20 grandchildren.

Lola Teichman (later Lola Rubin, 1923-2011) was born on May 5, 1923 in Dęblin, Poland to Chaim Teichman and Miriam Teichman (née Schildkrot). Her mother died in a house fire and Chaim was remarried to Sara Kiwowitach (later Sara Teichman, b. 1901). She had two sisters, Witl (Szark, b. 1921) and Idis (b. 1925); and two brothers, Benyek (b. 1931) and Abraham (b. 1941).

After the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, Lola was forced into the Dęblin ghetto. She was later sent to a forced work camp in Dęblin on October 15, 1942. In July 1944 she was deported to Częstochowa. The camp was liberated on January 17, 1945 by the Soviet Red Army.

After the war, Lola was reunited with Sucher Rubin (later Sol Rubin), whom she previously knew. In November 1945, Lola and Sucher went to the Foehrenwald displaced persons camp. They were married in the camp, and their son Jakob Rubin (later Jack Rubin) was born in Foehrenwald in 1946. The family immigrated to the United States in 1949 aboard the USS General R. M.
