   In 1944 he remarried (after his first wife mentioned above passed awayin 1939) to Mrs. Necha (Natalie) Cheniger, daughter of Reb Alter Yosef of Lieptzieg, who at the time still lived in NY.
   (see bottom left here, and turn to next page http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=12432&st=&pgnum=41)

   After his passing, his library of 16,000 rear Seforim and books was up for sale by his widdow, as advertized here.

    Could someone tell me where Rabbi Menachem Mendel Eckstein was from? I have a family tree for a rather large Eckstein family and several of them are Menachem Mendel. The family was from Rzeszow, Ulanow, Frystak and several other towns in the area.
