" Berl was very beloved by the working class and by the poor people of Ostrowiec. ... and he did not tolerate when anyone was mistreated or hurt. He sided with those who had been insulted or wronged.
… Berl and his wife Chaya raised their children as proud Jews and as honorable workers. His oldest son Pesach occupied a respected position in the labor movement of the left Poalei Zion of Ostrowiec. Later they immigrated overseas and until today they continue their communal activities in the Jewish labor movement. " Berl passed away in 1934.**
