Dear Mr. Gross

i would like to write something about your father and his family.
from yad vashem;
Maslovati Sara
Sara Maslovati was born in Horodok in 1906. Prior to WWII she lived
in Horodok, Poland. During the war she was in Horodok, Poland. Sara
perished in Horodok, Poland. This information is based on a Page of
Testimony  submitted on 20-May-1999 by her community member,yaakov
eidelman, a Shoah survivor

-- Thank you.  We saw that ( Yad Vashem) entry.  If that is my
Schwer's mother, the date of birth cannot be correct, since he was
born in 1914 and his sister Chaya was two years older than he. .

Information about another Horodok, north of the Horodok of this site:
I have obtained a large number of photographs of the cemetery for the
town of Gorodok north of Vitebsk and have placed them on a webpage
http://www.n122mg.com/1344.htm. Thanks to help from David Rosen I have added
translations of the texts for some of the gravestones. Unfortunately
most of the gravestones are in poor condition, but it may be that
someone can glean some more information than I have so far. There is
also a button on this web page to another one showing some details of
Gorodok today. The head of the small remaining Jewish community there is
Mark Krivichkin and can be seen in a couple of the photographs. I am
hoping in due course that we shall find a way to make the writings on
the gravestones clearer.
