The alterations listed below are based on a detailed research on Anna Langfus' biography conducted (in cooperation with a French researcher, Jean-Yves Potel) for the last few years in the "Grodzka Gate - NN Theatre" Centre in Lublin (Poland):
"Anna Regina Langfus was born in Lublin (Poland) to Moshe Szternfinkiel and his wife Maria (née Wajnberg), who also had a son, older than Anna" - Anna was a single child, the boy in question was a poor foster-child.
"Anna’s first husband was Jakub Rajs, with whom she spent a year in Belgium before they both returned to wartime Poland to join the Polish underground". - Before the war Anna and Jakub went to Belgium to study in Verviers. In summer 1939 they came home for holidays and the war surprised them in Lublin. They moved from the Lublin Ghetto to Warsaw where only Anna joined the Polish underground.
"In January 1948 she married Aron Langfus (b. Prague, 1911–1995)" - Aron Langfus was born in Lublin.
"Langfus’s novels all deal with the experience of war, destruction and loss after the Holocaust, weaving autobiographical material with fiction. Le Sel et le Soufre (Salt and Suffering, Prix Charles Veillon, 1960") - The title "Le Sel et le Soufre" means "Salt and Sulphur"/ "Salt and Brimestone" (Deuteronomy 29:23: "The whole land will be a burning waste of salt and sulphur"/ "All its land is brimstone and salt, a burning waste". The book was awarded the Prix Charles Veillon in 1961
"Amos ou les fausses expériences(Amos, or The False Experiences)" - The exact title is: Amos ou les fausses espérance (Amos, or The False Hopes)
