baum spent four days by Reva's
bedside, talking to her and
translating for doctors.
"It wasn't a question of vol-
unteering," said Mr. Rosen-
baum. "There was no one else
to do it and it needed to be
done. Probably the worst thing
I ever had to do was to tell her
that her daughter and grand-
daughter were dead."
Meanwhile, members of
Orlando's Jewish and gentile
communities cared for Adam.
A family of Russian refugees
read him stories. The hospitals
in Sebring and Orlando facili-
tated phone conversations be-
tween the boy and his
grandmother.
As the JFS in Orlando and a
funeral home in Sebring coor-
dinated burial arrangements
with the Detroit JFS and Ira
Kaufman Chapel, friends and
family lent their support.
Delta Airlines reduced rates
for the survivors' flight back to
Michigan. Anna Shpolyansky's
neighbor and friend, Helen
Greenberg, stayed with Adam
and Reva in their apartment
near Greenfield and Eleven
Mile Road.
"I'm breaking up inside,"
Mrs. Greenberg said while com-
forting Reva.
"Anna was brave," said
Tanya Fingerman, the JFS so-
cial worker who helped the
Shpolyanskys when they im-
migrated. "She was amazing —
a woman with two small kids.
She said she left (Russia) be-
cause of severe anti-Semitism.
She wanted her children to
have a safe life."
Anna's husband died in an
automobile accident in Russia.
As a single mother with no fam-
ily here, Anna was the sole
breadwinner of the family. She
worked as a hair stylist while
studying English at morning
and evening classes.
Six-year-old Elina attended
Hillel Day School, where teach-
ers and classmates remember
her as a quiet, nice child. Hillel
Headmaster Mark Smiley and
David Techner from Kaufman
Chapel encouraged students
last week to write down their
memories of Elina.
Alec Kessler, a friend who
helped the Shpolyanskys deci-
pher legal documents and
translate mail, met the family
"It wasn't a
question of
volunteering. It
needed to be
done."
Leo Rosenbaum I
while volunteering at the
Resettlement Warehouse,
which provides furniture for
new refugees.
"They were down-to-earth
people," he said. "They were
trying to do what all of us do
— trying to build a home for the
kids so they would grow up to
be useful citizens. They were
very well liked in the Russian
community."
Semyon Kushelman was
employed as a building engi-
neer in Russia. In Detroit, he
worked as a maintenance me-
chanic and applied his skills to
repairing friends' cars.
"His biggest talent was fix-
ing everything he put his hands --/\
on," said Mark Kushelman, his
son. "He was a very good me
chanic." ,/
Ms. Hyman emphasized that \I
donations are needed to offset
major medical expenses.
Contributions, marked "For
Adam and Reva," may be sent
