subj: Re: Meltzer/Turov Families of Kurenets
Date: 5/13/01 3:01:32 PM Pacific Daylight Time
From: alanmeltzer@netgate.com.uy (Alan Meltzer)
To: cheres33@hotmail.com
CC: EilatGordn@aol.com

To Yehudah and Vanda Cheres,

I am writing to you at the suggestion of Eilat Gordon as I am researching
my family geneaology and my great-grandparents were from the town of
Kurenets, now in Belarus. To tell you a bit about myself, my name is Alan
Meltzer, I am 38, an American from New York, and I currently live in
Montevideo, Uruguay, where I am a diplomat posted to the US Embassy. In
fact, in 1994, I went to Kurenets and Viazyn to visit the towns of my
ancestors.

My great-grand-father, Lazar Meltzer, was born in Kurenets around 1860.
He married a member of the Turov Family, Etta Leah Turov (b. 1869), and
moved to the shtettl of Viazyn, perhaps 20-30 kilometers from Kurenets.
So, my great-grandmother is a Turov, and I understand that you are related
to the Turovs, so we are distant cousins. In fact, my great-grandmother,
Ettah Leah Turov, and your grandfather, Lebbe Yakov Turov, were brother and
sister.

When I was in Israel in 1995, I met two first cousins of yours, named
Sonia Wilzensky and Michle Fishbein. They also introduced me to your aunt
Peshky Turov. Unfortunately, as I don't speak any Hebrew or Yiddish, we
were not able to communicate well and I wasn't able to ask as many
questions as I would have liked.

I have some questions I'd like to ask you. I hope these aren't too much
trouble for you. Until I found Eilat Gordan's website, I thought I had
exhausted all of my "leads" about Meltzers and Turovs in Kurenets. Now I am
finding that there is a lot more information out there to search for,
thanks to Eilat's extraordinary work.

1. Do you remember any families named Meltzer from Kurenets? What are the
names of all the Meltzers from that you remember and what were their
occupations?

2. Do you remember any of the Meltzers living in Viazyn, for example
Hennach Meltzer?

3. I understand that there is a descendant of the Turov family named
Morris Jablon, living in Milton, Massachusetts, USA. Who were his parents?
Do you have his phone number or address? My brother lives in Boston and
could contact him.

4. Do you remember any Meltzers or Turovs that moved to Montevideo,
Uruguay in the 1920s/30s? I know of one man named Rachmail (Roberto)
Melcer who moved here and wonder of you had heard of him? He was a brother
of Peshia Meltzer Mikhailov, born in Kurenets, who now lives in Israel.

5. If I understand correctly, there was a woman named Bella Meltzer from
Kurenets. Do you know who her parents or siblings were? I think she may be
the younger sister of Rachmail (Roberto) Meltzer who moved to Montevideo,
and the older sister of Peshia Meltzer Mikhailov, but I'd like to confirm
that.

6. Do you have the address or phone number of Rivka Gvint Dudik? I
understand from Eilat that her mother, Sima Gvint, had Meltzer as her
maiden name. I'd like to contact Rivka to write or phone her, if possible.
Do you know whether she speaks English?

7. Do you know how Rivka Gvint, or her mother Sima, were related to the
other Meltzers, for example, what were SIma's parents' names?

8. I'd like to purchase a copy of your book, Veha-ayra Boeret, please let
me know how I can purchase a copy.

Thank you very much for your assistance. I look forward very much to
hearing from you and perhaps meeting you, if I am able to visit Israel again.

With warm regards,

Alan Meltzer

Subj: Re: more lists for Kopelewitz
Date: 5/10/01 11:12:27 AM Pacific Daylight Time
From: multicats@yahoo.com (Karen and Richard Spector)
To: EilatGordn@aol.com

I got your email lists about Kopelewitz but I don't know who you are
(or I forgot?). I am interested in tha name Koplovitz and variations
thereof but all the ones I am missing in the immigration records are in
the 1890s which I can't find on the Ellis Island lists.

Thanks, my grandmother was a Kopelewtz from Borisov and it is quite possible that Broche Kopelevitz was a cousin.

Subj: Re: Where Dinersteins came from
Date: 5/5/01 10:30:22 PM Pacific Daylight Time
From: Bjaytwo@aol.com
To: Rosen20817, EilatGordn
I have identified definitely the following family members: Feige Dinerstein(my mother) [39. Feige Dinerstein Smargon, Russia 1912 age 11 ( Smorgon )]. Because I have her immigration papers. Listed also Leibe (her sister) Leibe Dinerstein Smargon, Russia 1912 age 7 (Smorgon)], Seiel (her brother) [Seiel Dinerstein Smargon, Russia 1912 age 5 ( Smorgon) ]
& Moische Dinnerstein [Moische Dinnerstein Smargon, Russia 1912 age 9 (Smorgon)]
(another brother)- why that spelling is different, I don't know. Also Scheine .[ Scheine Dinerstein Smargon, Russia 1912 age 21 (Smorgon) ]
(the aunt that brought them over & then went back). They are all listed as coming from Smargon, which was the next city of any size. But I know they were from Kurenetz. The numbers after their names, date & age are exactly as shown on her papers. Now if I could only find my grandfather & my mother's oldest brother Isadore. They came earlier. He sent for them after their mother died. He had to come sometime between 1906 & 1911.

The only clue to my grandfather's father was from my grandfather's death certificate, which listed his name as Saul.
Many thanks for the list. Bernice

Dear Eilat,
Many thanks for the Alperovich list. I'm curious: In sending the list were you responding to the JewishGen Alperovich site or my request to Ellis Island?

I'm now confused. The list seems very thorough (is it complete, i.e., does it include ALL Alperoviches passing through Ellis Island?

I have definitely found my grandfather (No.312, Pinchus Alperovich, arrived 1904 at age 30). But I am having tremendous trouble finding my grandmother and my mother and aunt (who came over a year or two later with their mother). I think the problem stems from my ignorance of Russian Jewish first names. My mother's name here was Anna, but I assume was Hanna or Chana. Can't find her definitely. Her mother's name here was Rose, but was really Ritla. I suppose, she could be No. 329, Rifke from Minsk (where she came from) arriving 1906, but it gives her age at 36 and my records show she should have been 28 at the time. Do you know how accurate were the age records upon arrival?

I am most appreciative for your sending me this stuff.
With best regards,

Bob Mayers (Dokshitz)

Great, thanks, It will take some time to absorb this all and find
our specific relatives.

Eliat,

Thank you so much for sending me this. I have been so busy finding relatives
on this ellis island site, that I didn't even get around to looking at this
name yet. You have no idea how much I appreciate your wonderful act.
Sincerely, Elaine Cohen elaco@att.net
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thank you SO much for this list.

Although I have listed Alperowitz as a name I am researching, it was the
maiden name of a great-uncle's mother, and I have done little research,
other than the SS-5 which stated this name.

Sincerely,
Sheila Friedman Reback

On the Ellis Island records list,Gitel Dinerstein from Minsk (#44) is definitely my maternal grandmother.(44. Gitel Dinerstein Minsk, Russia 1907 age-18) I have read the ship's manifest and that is definitely my grandmother. She was actually 14 (not 18) when she arrived, but most certainly lied about her age in order to be able to work,or to just get on the ship. Gitel, who became Gussie Denerstein, and later Gussie Kessler, was on her way to stay with her brother Morris and his wife Rose in Brooklyn. I'm still trying to find out when Morris (Moishe) came to
America. Gitel had two other brother who came here before her. In America they were Louis and Isidore. She also had a married sister, Sara Ruchel Rubin, who came to join her husband Nathan in Kansas City. Gitel's father
was Yakov Dinerstein, don't know the name of her mother. In addition to her parents, there were at least two sisters (Chaya Riva and Dinke, I believe)
who remained in Minsk. There may have been a brother as well. As far as I know, no one knew what became of them, but I believe it was assumed they died in the Holocaust.

Steve Rosen and you have me convinced that the family may have originated
from one of the shtetls you speak of, perhaps Kurenets. I am anxious to
continue reading all the stories on your site.

Thanks again for all the hard work on your web site.

I created two sites for places where Dinersteins lived;
Welcome to the Kurenets Site
http://eilatgordinlevitan.com/kurenets/kurenets.html

Welcome to the Dolhinov/Dolginovo Site click to see
1880s'....". The permit to live in the village; At that time an order came from the Tzar that no Jews should be allowed to live in villages. This order was not concerning the old Jews who had lived in the village prior. They were allowed to stay in the village with the children until they reached the age of twenty. Children who reached the age of twenty were ordered to leave the village immediately.."....
I think that this would explain why you could not find any dinersteins in Rezke later-eventually they all moved and never returned when the rules changed.
In the list of the perished in the Yizkor books of the area we found seven Dinerstein families who perished in Kurenets, Aharon Meirovitch told me of Seven Dinerstein families in Vilejka who perished, one perished in Volozhin, others in Molodechna and Smorgon. most seem to be somehow related. They could have all been descendants of the six Rezke families of a hundred years before, and there should be many more Dinerstein families after such a long period.
Vileyka Yizkor book: there are a few pictures of Dinersteins. Noach Dinerstein sister wrote about him page 150 (The partisan) - she must have never read the Kurenets book. she did not know how he was able to be with the partisans. She lived in Israel when she wrote it, her name is Chana Morberger (I have relatives with that last name). Noach parents who perished were Yosef- Leib and Miryam and another son who perished was Yizhak - Chanan.
Moshe Natan Dinerstein (First cousin to Yentes' father, Leib Dinerstein) died before the war, his wife Shifra with son Yakov, daughter Gitel, and son Avraham- Leib perished.
Also his son Chanan with his wife and children perished.
Another Dinerstein family is of Nisan Dinerstein who died before the war, his wife Rivka, their sons; Shalom and Natan their daughters Gitel and Lola perished.
Another was Zev Dinerstein with wife and daughter.
another Dinerstein was Avraham with his daughter in law Rivka and her son Baruch (Baba) - I would say that most of the Dinersteins in Vileyka were related- they have the same first names.
S. Dinerstein wrote on page 33 about the library.
I found this on site for Jewish partisans; ...".On our way to the various actions, I had a few bizarre encounters with Jewish women who tried to pass as Christians and might have had to pay for this with their lives. Once I met two Jewish women from Minsk who had been caught by partisans and accused of spying, and only after I had questioned them for a long time, because I suspected they were Jewish, did they admit their identity and thus were saved. On another occasion I met a Jewish girl, Leah Dinerstein who lived in one of the caves under the name of Lydka Baydak and behaved like a real anti-Semite to cover up." http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinsk/Pin2-05.html The story of David Plotnik

Subj: [belarus] Alternate spellings of surnames for research
Date: 5/1/01 11:50:03 AM Pacific Daylight Time
From: DiotimaZ@aol.com
To: belarus@lyris.jewishgen.org (Belarus SIG)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some very SPECIAL "SPECIALS" now offered at
http://www.jewishgen.org/jewishgenmall
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

sure you've heard this before, but I cannot stress enough the
importance of trying alternate spellings of surnames when
researching Ellis Island records, and BE imaginative.

I have found 6 passenger listings of the name CHARNAS from
Minsk, all belonging to ONE family. They all immigrated
separately. They were: CHARNAS, CHARNOS, SHARANESS, CHARNESS,
CHARNAES, and CHANIS.

Good luck,

D. Wilkenfeld

Hi Eilat,

I found your Web site today and was very impressed by your project, and
happy to find such a treasure trove of information and pictures.
I am researching the Kramer and Alperovich families from Kurenets, as well
as the Isaacson family from Radoshkovichi, to whom I am related.
My great-grandmother was Doba Isaacson nee Kramer, who is shown in the
center of the Passover 1922 photo (#r-6) on the Radoshkovichi portion of
your Web site. Through her, I am also related to Nechemia Alperovich, who
appears in the top-left photo in your Kurenets page. In fact, I met with
Nechemia several months ago in Kibbutz Ein Shemer. At the age of 88-89, he
is my oldest living relative and he showed me this very photo in his album.

I am trying to establish some links between the Kramer, Alperovich and
Isaacson families and am running into difficulties the further back in time
I reach. I have already extracted whatever info I could from the Kurenets
memorial book, but have not been able to proceed further.

I wonder whether you might be able to exchange genealogical information with
me regarding these families and/or point me to additional relatives who are
conducting such research.

I am a computer engineer living in Tel Aviv, aged 31 and married to Tammar
Sheinkin.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Gilad Japhet

Dear fellow Dinerstein researcher:
Several of you believe that your Dinerstein ancestors came from Minsk itself. I believe that, when all the archives are searched, it will become clear that this is not accurate, that your forebears came from the Minsk area but not from Minsk. Specifically, I think the Dinersteins of the Minsk area originated in Rechke, Kurenets, and Vileika, three shtetls clustered in an area northwest of minsk, ten miles across, where archival research and Yizkor books have identified dozens of Dinersteins.
Now we have some additional evidence that supports my surmise. The Minsk Yizkor Book Index Database has been put online at http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Belarus/MinskYB.htm, containing
3,285 names of the perished in Minsk. There is not a single Dinerstein listed among them. Compare this to Rechke (about fifty Dinersteins), Kurenets (about twenty) and Vileika (about a dozen)--all less than a tenth the size of Minsk.
So I believe that when our grandparents told us we are from Minsk, they meant near Minsk (especially the three shtetls mentioned above), not Minsk itself.

30. The Cantor’s Wife


August 1914


Tired and sleepy, I arrived on a warm, sunny morning at the home of my auntie in Molodetchno, my mother’s only sister. From the very first encounter, she began to take stock of me from head to toe. At the end of her examination, she pronounced her verdict: that I was "a man", my father’s son. By this she meant to convince herself that I did not, God forbid, take after my older brother, Aryeh-Leyb, who had spent a few months there the previous summer, prior to his departure for America. He had not made a good impression on her. She disliked him on account of his outrageous rebelliousness; for his outspoken opinions on "God and the Messiah"; and not least, for his "dalliances" with the local girls...

She soon sat me down at the long table, among her own army of children, and her usual guests, the wayfarers and travelling scholars; and with her giant wooden spoon, she doled out from one of her pots a fresh portion...for me, the new visitor.

I was stunned by the tumult into which I had been suddenly thrust. I felt lost and abandoned. My aunt hardly saw me, because she was run of her feet all day long. Now and then she would appear for a moment...and then, almost immediately, she would disappear. Small chidren were crying and screaming, scurrying around underfoot like little kittens. One of them sits there naked in bed. Another walks around with one shoe off and one shoe one, crying "give me food!". Meanwhile, village wives cluster about with squawking hens, geese, and ducks, waiting for the slaughterer (her husband) to come home from the House of Study, that he should slaughter their poultry. The geese cackle. The ducks quack, and the chickens gobble...and right in the middle of this commotion, the lies on the ground a tied-up claf, that a villager had brought to be slaughtered. It seemed that even the calf could hardly wait for someone to come and put him out of his misery. He twisted his body this way and that, mooing with a forlorn voice, so that it was virtually a case of cruelty to animals....

The door to my auntie’s house was never closed, between all the comings and goings. If there was a travelling preacher, a cantor, or a Rabbi passing through town, he was likely to drop in here. Because the cantor’s wife was known throughout the region for her great hospitality. And since Molodetchno was a central station on the road from Vilna to Minsk, it was not unusual that someone changing trains should show up with his suitcases to pass the time and perhaps enjoy a hot meal at the home of the Cantor-Slaughterer.....

On account of the war, the little town of Molodetchneh had suddenly become a great military center. Here was located one of the great supply depots, including a huge bakery, which supplied bread to the Army of the Northwest Front. A good number of Jewish soldiers were also to be found here. Young and middle-aged, "red tickets", religious Jews with bears ....they would often come to the cantor’s wife to enjoy a kosher meal and read their letters. More than one of them would wait for the auntie, or one of her sons or daughters, to help him write a letter home...

Thank you Steve for sharing this note from a Dinerstein descendant ( the family most likely originated in Rezke near Kurenets)
From: galeb@nova.edu (Gale Bouchillon)
To: Rosen20817@aol.com

Steve, I was thrilled to receive your email message. My maternal grandfather, Samuel Zaretsky (changed to Saretsky in the US), came to the US in 1906. His ship records indicate that he was born in Molodechno
and came from there in 1906 at the age of 15. His father was Morris Zaretsky and his mother was Leah Dinerstein. I don't know very much about Morris, but I do know a bit more about Leah. I know none of either one's extended families.

Morris never came to the US, but Leah came in the early 1930s from Molodechno to NY. She came to live with one of her daughters, Sarah Saretsky Katz in Long Beach, NY. I have 8mm film taken by Sarah's husband on their trip from the US to Molodechno and while in Molodechno
to pick up Leah. The film is not of great quality, and it was taken so quickly that much of the film is impossible to see. I've often thought of trying to have it run on video tape so that perhaps it can be slowed
down.

I've done fairly well researching the Zaretsky/Saretsky/Sarett family
because I have several wonderful cousins who have helped me immensely. One cousin shared with me that her grandfather, Davis Saretsky, had told her family that the Zaretsky family owned a rock candy factory in Vilna,
but that has yet to be authenticated. I'd love to compare information
with you and, of course, would be more than happy to share anything I have about the family.

Dear Stuart,
I talked with members of the last Jewish family to leave Kurenets ( It is Alperovitch!) and they told me that in the sixties, before they left, the son of Zev Einbinder who perished in Kurenets came for a visit. He was a very young boy during the war.He survived the war with his non Jewish mother. With the help of yasha Alperovitch he was able to get a good position in a near by city. he became a high officer in the police department Also I found Einbinders on some lists. could you tell me about your Einbinder side? Thank you. Eilat

Some of What Shlomo and Avraham Alperovitch told me on 4-22-2001; our grandfather from our father side, Avraham was born in kurenets c 1864 to Chaim Isar Alperovitch. Avraham married Sarale’nee Mekler the daughter of Chava and Aharon Mekler. The children of Sara and Avraham Alperovitch were; Orzik born in 1896. Leibe who had a second family after the war and they now live in Israel.
Zvi Hirsh who perished in Kurenets with his family, Ilana who married Gdalia Rotstein and perished with her family in Kurenets.(Gdalia Rotsteins’ brother Mulia Rotstein- lives in Kfar Charif, Israel.)
Chava who married Redek after the war and her three children live in Israel. Her son Shalom was the last Jew to be born in Kurenets in 1955. Feyga who married Chaim Podberesky from Grodok/Horodok. (His brother Efraim (1914) was the first husband of The mother of Avraham and Shlomo Alperovitch- he perished in the war)
Orzik was first married to Mirel who was born in Vilna. Their children were Yankle (Yasha) Alperovitch who became well known as a partisan. he was born in Kurenets in 1921. His son lives in Belarus and recently received a Visa to come to the U.S. with his 26 years old son to join his daughter and her husband. Chaim Isar who was born in 1923 and died of heart problems in 1942 during the war. Shmuel who was born in 1925 and lives in Russia today. Chava born 1932 and Yerucham born 1938 perished with their mother Meril in Kurenets 9-9-1942. Orzik second wife was from Rakov she was from the Botwinik family. Some of her fathers’ relatives came to America before the war. She had a cousin Berry Botwick (Changed from Botwinick) who lives in West Hartford Con. She had a family from her mother side; Eidelzik Shlomo and Gershon. The rest of the family perished.

.

Orchik loved to tell stories about the family and people he met during his travels. Here is one story he told about his older cousin from the Alperovitch family of Dolhinov; The handsome Alperovitch lad was a socialist and in 1905 was a member of a revolutionary unit in the Dolhinov area. the unit was involved in some illegal activities and the Russian police was on the way to arrest the cousin. the family of the young man was poor. immediately that night they arranged for a marriage for the young man with a local Jewish girl from a wealthy family who was not blessed with beauty. Very shortly after the Alperovitch cousin was on the way to America with a ticket that was paid by the family of the bride promising the bride family to bring their daughter to America once he is settled. The bride back in Dolhinov was with child but little was heard from the groom in America. The brides' family decided to send the wife with her baby to America. while she was on the road to the new world the mans' family sent
him a note about the impending arrival. the man sent them back a note in Yiddish saying "guys, guys, dark ominous clouds are on the horizon rapidly approaching the havens of America" Nonetheless when the wife arrived they lived jointly and had many many children.
When Orzik sister, Chava Redek visited America, she met the family of her Alperovitch cousin.

I too am seeking information about the Zaretsky family. My grandfather Samuel Zaretsky came from Molodechno, near Vilna. That area is now in Belarus. He and other family members changed their name to Saretsky upon arrival in the US and many then changed the name further to Sarett.

I am looking for information on a Zelig Zaretsky, my grandfather who was born in Russian in a Village listed as Laketian or Taketian (can't make out the handwriting) in January 1880. He was at one time in the Czar or Czarina's army and came to the U.S. in the early 1900's. His mother's maiden name appears to be Shirley Garbus and his father was Jospeh Zaretsky. Any information on the town/village or how to find old villages that may no longer exist. I think it was near Minsk or Pinsk???

Thanks for any help.

Subj: About MONIN surname
Date: 4/20/01 9:35:36 PM Pacific Daylight Time
From: dscaliter@tutopia.com (Daniel Scaliter)
To: eilatgordn@aol.com

I am Daniel Scaliter , I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I am searching my family roots. MONIN was the surname of the father of my mother. They lived in Krasne,(near Kurenets) in Lithuania,(now Belarus) near Vilna. I have some photos from his family (they died in Europe), and a pair of these photos shows the "store" of Aron Monin (father of my grandfather), a drink and soda store!. I found on internet a webpage about Kurenets surname maintained by you. On the "Kurenets Guestbook" appears a message posted by "Laura Miner" (I dont know from when) talking about of a MONIN, from Minsk, who are in the "soda business"!.
I thing that theres a posibility that we are talking about the same families.
Do you know something more about the MONIN surname? If you can answer this mail I will be very glad and will be helpfull in my research. Respetuosly (excuse my english, please)
(I send this mail to Laura Miner, too)

from . In The Luben Farm
By Nathan Alperovich son of Reuven ben Natan Zalman's
..... The next day Yankale, the son of Ortzik Alperovitz, came to the farm area with other partisans. While the other partisans were waiting in the forest, Yankale looked for his younger brother Shmuel who was a shepherd, Shmuel was with the cows in the pasture. When he found him, he told all the Christians who worked in the fields near the pasture that the partisans would kill them if they'll tell anything to the Germans. He took his brother with him. The Christian shepherd, who worked with his brother, kept the secret the entire day. And when he returned with the cows that evening he told the Germans that Shmuel just walked away, saying he was going to Kurenitz to look for his mother.
Now I should tell about Yankeleh heroic stand that occurred a year earlier.
Yankeleh's father, Artzik Alperovitz, was a horse dealer. He was a minor dealer buying and selling or exchanging one horse at the time. When the soviets came to our area in 1939 they declared him a "merchant" (merchant were considered to be enemy of the 'people"). As a punishment, he was sent to Siberia.
On the day of the slaughter of the fifty- four, a day that the Germans claimed was solely to be rid of communists in our town, Merrill Alperovich (Artzik's wife), and all her children were taken to be killed. When the parade of the Jews, who the Germans took to be slaughtered, passed trough Kosita Street, Merrill and the younger children managed to escape and hide in one of the gardens. Yankeleh and one brother were taken to the killing field near the Jewish cemetery. While Yankeleh was already standing in the pit and the German officer was ready to yell "fire!", Yankeleh ask the officer that was in charge of the killing if he can ask a question. The officer allowed one question, Yankeleh said; "before my execution I have a final request, I would like to know for what crime I Have received a death sentence? Is it because I am Jewish? Or is it because of a suspicion that I am a communist?"
Yankeleh brave stand in his grave, surprised the officer, he answered; "you are about to be killed, as the rest of the people here, for being a communist!"
"If this is the case against me" said Yankeleh "I would like you to ask the many Christian villagers who are standing here, to bare witness. They can all testify that in the soviets days the communist broke our family and sent my father to Siberia. Having such bad experiences how could I be a communist? The officer turned to the villagers that were standing there with a shocked look on their faces, they all nodded their heads in agreement.
The officer said, " if this is the case you are free to go"
Yankeleh said; "I ask that my sick young brother who is as innocent as I am should be released"
The officer must have liked Yankeleh stand, he let both of them go.
Shortly after the brother died of natural causes and Yankeleh joined the partisans and became renowned for his bravery and commitment. When the war ended, he received many high commendations and medals.
Back in the Luban farm, After Shmuel's escape I was assigned to take Shmuel's job as a shepherd. Shortly after a Christian man from Studyonka by the name of Ivan, came to us (Jews) he gave us a letter from Yankeleh in the letter he urged us all to escape and come to the forest.

I would like to thank the brothers Avaraham and Shlomo Alperovich the sons of Orchik and Lior Alperovicth the grandson of Sara nee Mekler and Leibe (Brother of Orchik). I talked with Avraham Alperovich many months ago and he told me all the birthdays and death days of every Jewish person who lived in Kurenets after he was born (1946). All the information is in his head,( he is a math teacher). Avraham also told me about life in kurenets, about the day that the Kurenets war criminals who helped the Germans were released from prison and how they were welcomed by the none Jews. However he said that most of the times the none Jews were friendly with them. He also gave me telephone numbers of other Kurenetzers in Israel and the U.S.
Shlomo (Solomon) Alperovich and his son Alexander posted in this guest book a most detailed note about life in kurenets after the holocaust. I will post their note also in Kurenets stories.
today I called 24 years old Lior Alperovich who's father is a first cousin of Yankel, Shmuil, Avraham and Shlomo Alperovich
Lior is a history student in the Hebrew University and very interested in the history of his family, Kurenets and the Chabad movement. he gave me some information about his family (both the Meklers and the Alperoviches) that I will post later. feels a great obligation since he and his second cousin Alexander are the only Jewish Males who will carry the name of his great grandfather Abraham son of Chaim Isar Alperovich.
many other family members perished in the holocaust.http://eilatgordinlevitan.com/kurenets/k_pix/burials_memorials/1c_big.jpg

I called Rivka Gilat at her home in Kfar Saba. She told me that her father was Moshe Alperovitz, the son of Chaim Zalman and the grandson of Yuda Zushas'- Here is a story from the 1870's about Rivkas' family;
Yuda son of Zusha-- A land owner and a Hassid- By Isar Katzovitz

I study in the shteble of Yuda Zushas'. To a house of study they call here shteble. Yuda Zushas' is a handsome Jew. Tall, with a round black beard, his eyes are black and he has a very deep, penetrating stare. He is a serious person, but usually a relaxed aura surrounds him. He is always dressed in a clean, and elegant manner. Everyone says that he is a brilliant man, and has a thorough knowledge of the Bible and the laws. His Hassidic lessons are very lively. He also speaks Polish and Russian well. Even among the gentiles he is known as a very smart and descent man. He has two children: a son and daughter. He also adopted an orphan girl. He rents a land parcel from the wealthiest landlord in the area, the Paritz. He has a pundak (a wine making and tasting establishment). He owns a boarding house. In addition, he's has claims in numerous businesses in the wood processing and clothing manufacturing industries. Many of the town Jews work for him. He supplies for all of his relatives, and no one complains. In spite of the fact that he has so many businesses, he finds time for the Torah and every morning when morning prayers end, he reads from the OLam, a chapter from the Mishnah. Between Mincha and Maariv he reads from "Ain Ya'akov".

I love to listen to his prayer when he is left all alone in the shteble. I especially enjoy the Shabat prayer. On Shabat I eat at his house. After everyone else has left the shteble, his son (Chaim Zalman) and I stay and wait for him. He faces the wall and prays with excitement and his beautiful voice fills the room with pleasant sounds and words of God. His prayers make you forget the rest of the world.

How beautiful is this house when we return from the synagogue! There are six silver candle sticks with long candles standing on a very long table that is covered with a white table-cloth. His wife, with her gentle, modest, yet proud face, sits on the "tzena vereyena". The orphan girl and the daughter listen intently to every word she reads.

Yuda Zoshas' starts signing "Shalom Alechem" in a sweet voice. Holy quietness surrounds the home. The son, and I softly join the singing in hushed voices. Now its time for him to bless the wine. We stand slightly bowing our heads. He holds the big silver wine glass that is filled to the top. For a moment he'll shut his eyes and fall into deep thought. And then, his voice lifts in song. Each word vibrates the air. The holiness of the Shabat becomes a reality. I breathe deeply and the experience fills me. We sit around the table, late into the night when the fish is all eaten, and we sing "ezamer- beshvacheen". After we are done with the noodles, the son will recite a Mishniot chapter that is commonly told on Shabat.
Chaim Zalman-My Friend

I have a friend in the shtetl. His name is Chaim Zalman. He's the one and only son of Yuda Zushas'. He's only a few years older than I, but he is much taller than I am, and skinny, like a lulav. His face is elongated and pale, with a long nose, and long curly cues payas'. He is slightly sickly, and the doctors from Vilna have ordered him to drink plenty of milk and eats raw eggs. The doctors also recommended that he take walks in the fresh air. For this reason, his father, Yuda Zusha, asked me to take a daily journey with Chaim. Every evening, even during the winter time, we would stroll around the shtetl.

During the summer, and especially on weekends, we would take walks in the forest, in addition to our evening stroll. There, we would lie under a tree and discuss what a 'good Jew' is, the study of Hassidut, and everything that happens in Heaven and Hell. Both of us were confident that he, respectively, knew everything that happened in Heaven. On the other hand, we knew very little about what was happening on Earth. Newspapers never reached our area, and strangers would never visit……

Rivka told me that her family was not so well to do by the 1900's when her father was a young boy. (He was born c 1899). Her father Moshe (Maysay) owned a food store. Moshe Alperovitz had two sisters; one day they contracted typhus while staying in the forest. They both became very sick and nothing could be done for them. They died on the same day. Words of the tragedy spread everywhere, people from the entire area attended their funeral- Jews and Christians, rich and poor came. Her father told her about it. She was born some years later. When Rivka was a child her parents leased part of their house to Nathan and Batya Gurevitz and Rivka remembers when Gershon Gurevitz was born in 1928. (She was about five years old)
When Nathan's father Mordechai moved to Ertz Israel in 1935. the Gureviz family moved to his house and rivka's family sold part of their house. Rivka had one brother named Zalman, he was a few years younger. Zalman was killed as a soldier in the Red Army and received many awards.
Rivka was a member of Hashomer Hatzair.
Here is some of what Zalman Gurevitz wrote ;… Sep. 9. At two in the morning Moshe Alporevitch our neighbor came to our house. He was very frightened, he told us that from his window across from the police station he saw a few hundred police men in cars and from what he understood today was going to be the day of slaughter. My father and sister and brother and the family of Moshe Alporevitch decided to hide in that sacharon (hiding place). I said I was not staying and would go at once to Volkovishtzena or the woods. I took my rifle and a gun, dressed very warmly and carried a few thing I prepared ahead for our departure to the forest. I left from the vegetable garden to the direction to the fields that would take me to the forest Savina. The fog was thick. At the edge of the field I saw many shadows running. Some of our troop members joined me; the two brothers Salim and Moshio Shnitzer, we were also joined by Chayim Shletzer, Chayim Alporevitch and 16 years old Zalman, the son of Moshe Alporevitch that later joined the Red Army. They all begged me to take them with me . They thought they would be safer because I know my way out. We started towards the fields, we crossed the roads circling the town and when we were two hundred meters away there was a bombardment of shots from all sides. From afar we could see the shadows of policemen circling the town. There was a distance of 20 meters between each. We immediately lied down and started crawling to the direction of Savina. But there was no chance to cross the ring of soldiers. Luckily for us the fog was very thick so we started crawling towards Vileyka street where only Christians lived. I hoped that there I would not find so many policemen. But I was wrong. It was clear now that the whole town was surrounded and that there was no way out. So I decided to go to one of the Christians barn hoping they would not search there. Three of the barns were locked. The fourth one was open. As I found out later it was Ingale Biruk's barn. We went on top of the hay that was all the way to the ceiling and we hid deep inside it. When I reached the barn I realized that Zalman was lost. Many hours past and we had heard shots from everywhere and that was the way we passed the night. At 8 in the morning we heard the sound of footsteps. Someone came inside, walked on top of the hay, but then left. We heard him lock the door.
All day long we heard shouts, c
