his is an account of the Liebman family, whose earliest extant records in the Zemplén region of Hungary (now Slovakia) date to the 19th century. Many of their descendants emigrated to the United States and settled in New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, most Anglicizing their surname as Loveman. Several distinguished themselves in literature and business and one did so in military service. Others remained in Europe and met horrible fates at the hands of the Nazis; a few improbably survived the Holocaust. This website tells many of their stories.
