Eilat:

Thanks for your reply and the links. My grandmother's mother was Anna
Entin, sister of Solomon Entin whose family tree is on Jewish Gen. Anna
Entin married Jacob Ginsburg and moved to the US in about 1905, to North
Adams, Mass. They had six children, Bessie, Mary, Eva, Morrie, Eddye, and
Molly (my grandmother). She says Anna was from Druja, don't know about
Jacob. Other than that she has no information. Supposedly Jacob had 8
brothers, who she has no contact with, except one many years ago who lived
in Toronto.

Thanks again for the pictures and text. She will find it very interesting.

Regards,

Andrew

Dear Sir / Madame ( May 10, 2007 ) :

We are seeking further information about my father's family, many of whom perished in the town of DRUJSK.

In the Table of Contents for the book of Druya and communities of Miory, Druysk and Leonpol,

it indicates that ENGLISH translation is available for this Sefer Druja.

However, the Website allows Internet access to English only for pages 201 - 212, " Trials and Tribulations "

by Liba Levitanos-Zaidlin.

*** DO YOU KNOW HOW I MAY ACCESS the ENGLISH Translation for the following additional
SIX entries ? ...

Chapters of Druysk - Y. Sosnovik , pp. 85-87.

Our school " Chorev " - T. Berkman, pp. 88.

Days of Tranquility before the Siege - Reuven Budownicz, pp. 89-94.

Personal Chapters from the book of the Shoah - L. Yudin, pp.180 - 200.

The Horrors and the Eradication of the Jews of Druysk - R. Budownicz, pp. 215-216

List of the Martyrs - pp. 236 - 255.

I have already purchased the entire Volume # VIII in Hebrew and Yiddish, from the New York Public Library system,

but deeply desire now to obtain the ENGLISH translation for the above 6 portions in particular.

Thank you very much indeed for your kind assistance in directing me to a suitable source for

this material.

Gratefully, B' Shalom,

Menachem Mendel ben Eliezer Baldovitch

Re: Druya Yizkor books and much information

Dear Mama Levitan!
Yes, my father and I saw all references which were in your email.
When we first joined facebook we saw the pictures ( of the Druya site) but the other references were new for us.

We found 3 striking coincidence in the Libe Levitanus' story http://www.jewishgen.org/Y izkor/Druya/dru201.html
.
The first, my father remembers Libe Levitanus a little.
The second, my father remembers the brothers Galperin. Some time they were in the same partisan detachment.
The third, Libe Levitanus says that after the war "...I married Shlomo Ziadlin, who had also survived with two of his sons. At the end of 1945, we left Druya for the land of Israel...."
Shlomo Ziadlin was a man whom we were looking for. He was my grandmother's cousin. I wrote in my message http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=5582068363&topic=3302 that he and his two sons left after the war for Israel.
If I understood the situation true he was Meir Levitanus' stepfather and his sons were Meir's brothers.
Please write me if I understood this true - then Meir might know something about our relatives. In fact he is our relative too.

It's curious for me but I found many my grandfather's relatives in Yad Vashem but no one grandmother's relatives. She had many brothers and sisters and almost all of them were killed in the Shoah. Their surname was Leviman (reading about Levitan's family which had beginning from Avrohom Leviyan I thought that we could have common roots). If you meet such surname please tell me about it.

If you have some questions for my father we'll try to help you.
If our pictures are useful for you we'll be happy.
As I understood it true he is one of a few alive people who lived in Druya before and during the war.

Sorry for my English.
Thank You and best regards.
Julia
