Hi all 
I found out that my grandfather had an uncle that survived ww2 and lived with his daughter in Israel 
besides his name and his daughters name and where he is buried I can’t find any more information 
what should my next step be?
 Thanks in advance

Just to add the info i know mayby someone will be able to help
here is all the Info i know
His name was shmiel zev polak,
He was born in borsa Romania,
His father was Elye polak.
I found out about this uncle by searching on the yad vashem website he submitted records for his parents
On dose records he signed his name shmiel polak from kiryat yam,
But I found a gravestone named shmiel zev Ben Elya polak which is probably his gravestone because my great grandfather had a brother with the name shmiel zev.
he arrived aprox 1949
His daughter I also found on the yad vashem records her name tzpore grinberg also lived in kiryat yam.
I was not able to find anything else,  
i don't  know how to proceed
i would like to find his family

I will try to help search in Israel but only after you have an answer from the Hevra Kadisha associated with the burial you identified,

What exactly are you looking for? I mean, you found the daughter, so can't you get more information from her?

My genealogy research is electric.
It follows the path of least resistance.

Tzipora died in 1968 when she was 39 years old.
According to her headstone, it seems she had no family.

Tzipora mentioned in the Yad VaShem testimony regarding her mother Bertha, that there were 2 children. I think that I found her sister, Edith,  who perished in the Stutthof concentration camp.
Here is a screenshot from USHMM:


Yad Vashem has an identical entry from Beate Klasferd's Nevek Project.
At Arolsen Archives in Germany I found Edit' s registration card from Stutthof KZ.



Finally, I recommend to contact MyHeritage, they may have some information about Tzipora
