Polly and Abraham Littman had a daughter named Jessica, whom we understand suffered from an undefined mental illness. Naomi Yalin: She married Alf Goldstein, son of Yanche (David) and Esther (Nechama) Goldstein, but the marriage was annulled soon after. 

​

Sue Massey: "According to my mother, Lucy (Hinda / Annie's daughter), her aunt Polly always brought the takings from the family shop in Petticoat Lane to her mother, Sura Gitel, who had all the family keys hanging from a belt she wore above her clothes and she kept the money she collected in a purse on another belt worn under her skirt. As you can imagine, as a little girl my mother found this fascinating.

 

"My mother also said one of Polly’s husbands used to brandish a knife and chase Polly around the house. I don’t know which one."

​

David Tessler: "Polly was known as friendly and hospitable."
