Izzy Plotkin (My great Uncle) had gone back to Krasne to tell my Great grandfather, that one of his daughters had died here. My great grandfather was Chaim David Plotkin. He came to America in 1921 and didn't like it so he went back to Krasne after about a year or two. He is listed on your web site in the list of Jewish families in Krasne in 1941. He had a brick factory there.
This is a mission that I began undertaking as soon as I started school and learned how to read. Over the years I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to locate, restore and preserve a large number of photographs, videos and documents relating to Horodok.
Using these materials I've been able to recreate lost buildings and expose forgotten stories. I continue to scour the Internet in search of information on Horodok's former residents. One extraordinary find has been a collection of wartime photographs of the village that had found its way to a private collection in Japan.
Based on Polish maps from 1938 as well as aerial shots taken by the Luftwaffe in 1944, I was able to locate the murder site of Horodok's Jewish community. Myself and a local group of dedicated individuals, who are also passionate about commemoration, are currently awaiting the assistance of a professional search team. With the help of volunteers we are also restoring the Jewish cemetery, and in the future we want to compile an online visual catalog so that anyone interested could view and locate the Matzevot (tombstones) online.
As part of the attempts to commemorate the village's Jewish community I am also engaged in creating a comprehensive list of the victims of Nazism as well as searching for the names of Jewish partisans who resided in the town. Our plan is to have these names added to a monument dedicated to wartime heroes currently standing in the center of Horodok.
Though much work has been done, there's still so much more to find, particularly in family archives. I am turning to you all - descendants, friends, historians and all of those who feel a connection to this cause, to take part in collecting and preserving the history of Horodok. Together we can pay tribute to our ancestors and create a heritage for future generations.
