"We were relatives of the Rabbi of Kenty, Landau, who lived in a village of Oświęcim."

Oświęcim is Polish for Auschwitz

Kenty, Kanty or other spellings (like Christos) is a village is Poland near Auschwitz. So the Rabbi lived in Auschwitz, once upon a time just a village and was the Rabbi of Kenty. Landau is a common Jewish name.
