Yitta Schwartz

Yitta Schwartz has the biggest family ever. She has 15 children, more than 200 grandchildren, and a ton of great grandchildren. All in all, she has around 2,000 living descendants. That’s a lot.
She is a very Jewish lady. She was a part of the holocaust, and was stuck in many different German concentration camps. She ended up living through the holocaust, and giving the world many many children. At family reunions, she never seemed to forget anybody’s name. Which amazes me, who can’t even remember ten people’s names?
Yitta considered bearing children as her tribute to god. And boy did she tribute. Having 15 children. Wow, that’s something else. All of her descendants lived close by too, in parts of New York. And all of her descendants are tributes to society. They are rabbis, teachers, merchants, plumbers and truck drivers.
Yitta was born in 1916 into a family of seven children in the Hungarian village of Kalev, revered as the hometown of a founder of Hungarian Hasid ism. During World War Two, the Nazis sent her and her family to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
In 1953, her family moved to the United States, in the New York Area. She lived a very happy life with many, many children.
