SCHNEERSON, NECHOMA-DINA.

Rebbetzin Nechoma-Dina and her husband R. Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson had three children, all girls. The middle daughter, Chaya Moushka, famously married the future Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson and were childless. The youngest daughter, Shaindel, married Menachem Mendel Horenstein, both were killed by the Germans in Treblinka in 1942 and were also childless. The eldest daughter, Chana, married R. Shemaryahu Gur-Arye (“the Rashag”) and had just one child, Sholom-Ber (1923-2005) who in later years became the focus of dispute as an estranged heir to the Lubavitch dynasty. He too was childless.
