Shmuel and Gitl are Chaya's aunt and uncle..... they, of course, are brother and sister. Shmuel is described as strong and brave. Gitl is like a mother to Hannah. We learn over the course of the novel that Gitl never marries, and that she later moves to Israel, where she founds a charity organization.
