Which one of Hannah’s great-nephew’s won a Nobel Prize in Medicine?
Hannah Wolfson’s siblings are Judah, Tanta (Aunt) Wolfson Shapiro, and Tanta (Aunt) Yetta Schocket (Wolfson) Blumberg
Note: Hannah was the daughter of “Wolfson”. Supposedly, her family can be traced back to Reb Eliahu Wilnar Gaow (1720 – 1798). He was also known as the Vilna Gaon. However, I have not been able to prove that. Hannah and Julius had the same father, Yechizkel Vulfson. He was murdered for being Jewish. Their mother remarried and had at least 2 daughters with her second husband, Samuel Schocket..

- Sarah married Jim Brenner
