    Biography
    Joel Wolrajch is the son of Moishe and Rachel Wolrajch. He was born in Piotrkow Trybunalski, where his parents owned a butcher shop. Joel had four siblings: Hersh Lieb (b. 1900), Chia Sura (b. 1904), Aron Zeylek (b. 1909 and died before the war) and Shaya (b. 1906). Rachel Wolrajch also died before the war. Helen Tolep was Joel's cousin. Her family, also from Piotrkow, immigrated to the United States in the 1920s. In 1935 Helen returned to Piotrkow for a visit and met Joel. They married the following year on April 22, 1936 and settled in New York. Joel's father and three surviving siblings all perished during World War II, probably in Treblinka.
