In an email received from Carole Kushnir in March 2007 inquiring about the Kuperwasser family, it was discovered that the Kuperwasser family changed their name to Cooper in the U.S. There are several Cooper connections to Judy's family and Klodawa.
There were at least three siblings that came to the U.S.: Isidore, Max, and Sara-Lea. Sara-Lea married Samuel Pizer, and so is a cousin through marriage. Max's first wife Reina, later married Louis Opper, a very close friend to both the Francuz and Pizer family. Louis Opper's first wife was Freyda Francuz-Bayla (Francuz), Przedecki's sister. Isidore was very active in the Klodawa Society of the 1950s.
Also, Max Cooper's memoirs have been graciously sent by Carole Kushnir to Judy Muratore. The papers will soon be scanned and posted on this site.

The Kuperwasser home (identified by Michael Pizer in 2006) is the yellow building. It is on Rynek, the town square of Klodawa. Left of the Kuperwasser home is the three-story Przedecki home and then the Lewin home (far left). On the right is the Gerszkowicz, and far right is the Glasman home.
