In 1927, Mildred Jaffee took her four sons, with Morris's acquiescence, to Zarasai. After one year, Morris Jaffee showed up and took the family back to the United States. After a year, Mildred took the four sons back to Lithuania. After four more years, Morris showed up, and took the eldest three sons back to the United States, where they lived in Far Rockaway, Queens. The youngest son would get out in 1940, and Mildred presumably perished after the Nazi invasion.
