24. The sources do not, however, agree on her name or the date of her suicide. S. Kaczerginski, Khurbn vilne (New York, 1945) p. 283, calls her Khaychke Epstein, and indeed a Khaye Epstein is listed as a nurse in the Ghetto Hospital as of 26 October 1942
25. Szadowski, Bieter vegn vilne p. 35, is probably correct in giving the date as summer 1943, but calls her "Khaye Blofarb"
