Yetta Haskin Guzik (b. 1922) was the daughter of Harry (Morris, Moische, Maurice) and Fanny (Feige) (Mietzner) Haskin. They immigrated separately to the United States from Russia in the 1910s. Fanny (Mietzner) Haskin was a garment worker in Cleveland, Ohio, until her marriage in 1920. Harry (Morris) Haskin was a tinner who found employment repairing cars at the Carnegie Body Company. Yetta Haskin was married to Leo Guzik (d. 1975). Her aunts were Tzivia (Sylvia) Haskin (d. 1966) and Ellka (Helen) Haskin (d. 1970).
