I found the memoirs that you posted of Sidney Grosser as I was doing some

Shapero, who was the sister of my grandfather, Hyman Shapero, so Eleanor and
George are my second cousins (same great-grandparents, Nathan (Nutta)
Shapero and Brenda (Breneleah) Feldman). Chanah and Hyman Shapero were both
from the Ukraine also (the town of Zvhil), so this seems to be a possible
connection! Please contact me and let me know if this is the correct Grosser
family. I can be reached at
