Today Nissan 1 is Chaim Schneur Zalman Lagovier’s Yartzheit. He was Omi’s brother.
He was born in 1898 and at a young age he went to live with a his uncle (Levi Lagovier’s brother) in Amsterdam because he was sick with typhus and had a lung problem and being by the water was supposed to help his situation.
He passed away at the young age of 13 or 14 in 1912 on Rosh Chodesh Nissan.
After searching for a long time, and with the help of the Chevra Kaddisha in Amsterdam, in 2007 I found where he was buried and went to Amsterdam to his kever. As far as we know I am the only one that has ever been there. Daddy HK”M had told me that Omi A”H didn’t know where he was buried and that he was very happy that I was there and was able to say Tehillim there.
He is buried in:
Diemen Cemetery (About 20-30 min drive from Amsterdam) – Field A – Row 49 – #11
