Can you imagine having more than a dozen kids? How about more than 200 grandchildren? What about so many great- and great-great-grandchildren that your family couldn’t even count them all. They had to guess that you probably had 2,000 living descendants. Yitta Schwartz had all of that and more. She was able to live during World War 2. Although some of her children were not so lucky and died in the concentration camps. I know that you are probably thinking, “Man, this woman is insane!” Well you can only believe that somebody who had so many descendants would have to be insane, but she wasn’t insane she was just trying to do what she was supposed to.
She died last month at age 93. Her husband died 34 years before her and she never put her problems on anybody else. She did not like it when people took photographs of her. Her family was reluctant to provide more than one photo to the people who wrote this article. The people of her family say that she was a great example to them and she would always live in their hearts. Her family said that she used to say “Just keep me in your heart. If you leave a grandchild, you live forever.” Those are very inspiring words just think about them.
