Biographical History

The 9.5mm home movies predominantly feature cousins Hanna Lieberman (b. 1930) and Thomas Sperber (1930-2009) in Knihinin, Poland (a district of Stanislawow, which is now Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Ukraine) and the spa retreat of Jaremcze, Poland (now Yaremcha, Ukraine). Thomas's grandfather Filip owned a yeast and alcohol factory in Stanislawow, and with his wife Babeta (1858-1927) had four children: Jeannette Münch (1891-1967), Cecylia (Cilli) Kupferman (1892-1973), Benedikt Lieberman (1896-1950), Aniela (Nelly) Sperber (1898-1989). Filip left for the ghetto in Kolomyja, Poland in 1941 and died from natural causes there in 1943. The rest of the Lieberman family members escaped the Nazis and emigrated to Palestine from late 1935 to 1939, where they operated a farm in Ein Sara near Nahariya and lived in a 19th century house built by a Lebanese family.
