The Brooklyn bubbe who survived Russian pogroms, Communism, and Nazis, died on Wednesday.
"Bubbe" Maryasha Garelik, who lived through the entire 20th century, surviving the pogroms of czarist Russia, Soviet anti-Semitism and Nazi terror and then dispensing her wisdom to thousands of Lubavitch Jews, has died. She was 106.
She died Wednesday night in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood and was buried Thursday at the Old Montefiore Cemetery near the grave of the ultra Orthodox sect's revered "rebbe," Rabbi Menachem Schneerson.
I'm waiting for the Jewish newspaper obituaries. The AP simply has this at the end of the article (emphasis added):
Some of Garelik's more than 500 descendants are Lubavitch emissaries in Australia, China, England, France, Panama, Poland and South Africa.
I'd really like to see that broken down by grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. But, wow. Just–wow. My grandmother's descendants haven't hit triple digits yet, and aren't likely to for a long, long time.
