My father was born somewhere near Radoshkovichi (Radoshkovits) though it may have been Vilnius. His name is Walerian Dworzecki. His father was called Nikodem (sp?). I believe they were Polish farmers and may have owned some land. My father talks about a place called chocienczna (probably way off the correct spelling) where the farm may have been. He thinks the Russians and/or Germans destroyed it in WW2. When the Russians invaded his father was shot and dragged through the streets to show his family was no longer in charge. My father was drafted into Polish/Russian army and ended up in the British army, which is how he ended up in the UK. I am trying to find any info, pictures, records I can find of their life then. He still has relatives in Bialystok, but I don't know if they have any information. My hope is to travel to the area next year some time and see what I can find. Any info or advice you may have would be appreciated. Regards Andrew Whittam JM Data Services Spurfold House Church Lane Grayshott Hampshire GU26 6LY www.jmdata.co.uk Dear Andrew, 1. For us, ( I am Jewish) the Russians were much nicer then the Nazis. The Russians in general did not destroy the places or kill people in the street- it was Nazi Germany that did it. If your father was drafted into Polish/Russian army and ended up in the British army, He must have left the area to the east via the Soviet Union c 1941 and then via Iran and the middle east arrived in the west. After the German attack on the Soviet Union (June 1941) and following a Polish-Soviet agreement, General Wladyslaw Anders formed a Polish Army in the USSR. In the spring and summer of 1942, with Stalin's grudging permission, that army was evacuated to Iran. During the liberation of Italy, Anders' army won fame for storming the Monte Casino Monastery (May 1944). The Polish armed forces in the west fought under the British command and numbered 195,000 in March 1944 and 165,000 at the end of that year, including about 20,000 personnel in the Polish Air Force and 3,000 in the Polish Navy. At the end of World War II, the Polish Armed Forces in the west numbered 195,000 and by July 1945 had increased to 228,000 2. Now about chocienczna- it is CHOCIENCZYCE WILEJKA WILNO - it was a place where the locals helped the Jews and many survived and joined the Soviet resistance. One of my relatives from there was killed while fighting. Cimerman Aizik Aizik Cimerman was born in Baturin in 1915 to Shimon and Khana. He was a pupil and single. Prior to WWII he lived in Chocienczyce, Poland. During the war he was in Chocienczyce, Poland. Aizik perished in 1944 in the Shoah.

Meir Mark Dworzecki testified: "In Estonia I went through the concentration camps of Narva, Kureme 1, Kureme 2, Goldfilz, Kureme, Lagedi, until the day arrived when we felt that they were about to remove us from the concentration camps of Estonia. There, too, an underground was created; amongst the members of the underground was Hirsh Glik, the same young man whom I mentioned as the composer of the partisans' anthem. One night we agreed between us that every hour we would leave in groups for the forest. On the sound of the watchword, the first group went out - amongst them was Hirsh Glik." The advancing Soviet Army was in the region and the intention was to join the local partisans. But Glik and all of his companions disappeared, probably captured and executed by German soldiers in the area. In yad vashem: Rejzel Dworzecki was born in Dworzec in 1895 to Noakh.
