Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Joseph David Goldstein, married Sarah Cohl. Cohl was born to Jenne Shane (of Seattle, Washington) and Harry Cohl (from England). Harry moved from England, married Shane and operated a store in Everett, Washington. There were 35 Jewish families living there at the time. Sarah was born on 1 July 1928 in Everett, Washington. After services on Friday nights the men from the town would go watch boxing matches and Harry would often take Sarah. Rapaport only knew of one relative, a cousin named Rudy who lived in Seattle and worked as a Boeing Engineer. His family are buried in a Jewish cemetery in Seattle. Sarah graduated Bellingham High School in 1946 and later moved to Seattle where she attended the University of Washington for a few semesters. She eventually moved to New York and married Goldstein. They remained in New York for the rest of her life. They had no children. Dictated by Steve Rapaport to Archivist, Eileen Price on 11/4/2016.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

Photographs relating to a Jewish family (possibly named Schon or Schoenfeldt) who were most likely relatives of Sarah. Most of the photographs were made in Libau (now Liepaja, Latvia) and Mitau (now Jelgava, Latvia). The photographs were mainly made before 1917 (when the name of Mitau changed) and 1919 (when the name of Libau changed). Most of the Jewish population of these towns were killed during WWII. Two photographs are of Ike Freeman who was from Port Talbot in Wales. It is probable that the family lived in London for a while and then moved to the United States.
