Halina and George

Before heading to the synagogue, Halina Wind, 29, daughter of a poor Hasidic watchmaker in the Carpathian Mountains, pauses outside her brother’s home at 25 Garden St., Manchester, Conn., as her 7-year-old nephew, Joel Wind, looks on. A 1950 graduate of the Teachers Institute of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, she had survived 14 months in the sewers of Lviv in 1943-44 with nine other Jews, hidden by Polish Catholic sewer workers, while her parents and younger brother were murdered.
