I hear mention of other Sepswnwols but there was little communication. Morris Schiff's mother was one of the cousins. My cousin Carol Crane was making a genealogy chart but began with my Father and Mother, no further back. One item I do remember was that the Sepsenwol family did have a branch in Haradock, a village close to Volozin. ADDRESSES: Solomon "Shlomo der Chasid" Shepsenwol in Volozhin: A Rare Chasid in Volozhin, by David Cohen (Tel Aviv) from the Volozhin Yizkor book: [Solomon SEPSENWOL b: Abt. 1845 d: Bef. 1917 +FÃgel Sepsenwol b: Abt. 1845 in Lithuania m: Abt. 1874] From the Volozhin Yizkor book; "There was never a minion of Chasids in Volozhin. Once there would be a chance toward the ten, the first "Chasid" would die. Amongst the very few was a Chasid from Slonim Yeshiva named Shlomo Shepsenwohl. (a native of Haradok) He was also called "the angel." He got this name because, once, when he had a sickness that affected his leg, they had to operate. When he opened his eyes, and found out that they had to amputate one of his legs, he made a joke, "Too bad I can't dance in pair" (he meant in pair of legs) When the Rabbi heard it, he said this is the behavior of an angel "to keep a sense of humor in such tragic circumstances." They said about him that his brain was bigger than his heart. He had no self pity. I remember one day sitting with a group of friends in our yeshiva, singing different songs we each knew. I started singing a typical Slonim song. At this point, a Jew with one leg came in and asked, who is singing the Slonim tune? I said, it is me, I am from Slonim. I invited him on Saturday night. As was the custom in Slonim, we would stay up all night on Friday and read the tunes. Especially when we reached the passage, "I pray for the pleasantness of the Shabat," his voice came from the depths of his soul. I would forget that I left the Chassidat, and my soul would be sick with love. The Jews of Volozhin and the yeshiva students would stand outside and listen and someone would say, we don't have a minion of Chassid in Volozhin, but we do have a.... He told me one time he stood in front of the head of the Chassidim in Slonim, who asked him, how come you go and pray again and again with the Mitnagdim in Volozhin? Shlomo answered, "Before I go to the synagogue, I say to myself, I'm going into the meadow; the bulls are walking around and makingloud sounds, and I'm the only human being among them." The Well known Rabbi said, "Why do you want to see so many Jews as bulls? It would be better to say that there are many people and only one bull among them.." From then on he would say what the Rabbi told him;he was the one bull among many Jews because he doesn't want to disrespect other people. [followed by a comment by Benyamin Shafir Shishko: "When he was in Tiberia in Purim of ... I heard in the synagogue Kiryat Shmuel that belongs to the Chssids from Slonim from the elder of the community Rabbi Moshe Shelita the most wonderful tales about the amzing spirit of Shlomo Chassid." Then a song that Shlomo der Chassid wrote in Yiddish: "No lambs, no herds, no wife, no children. Only ââ¬Ëhappiness in the Kingdom of Heaven.'"

The Sugihara VISAS FOR LIFE; For 29 days, from July 31 to August 28, 1940, Mr. and Mrs. Sugihara unflinchingly sat for endless hours signing visas with their own hands. Hour after hour, day after day, during three weeks, they wrote visas. They wrote over 300 visas a day, which would normally be more than one months work for the consul. Yukiko also helped him register these visas. At the end of the day, she would massage his fatigued hands. He did not even stop to eat. His wife supplied him with sandwiches. Sugihara chose not to lose a minute because people were standing in line in front of his consulate day and night for these visas. When some began climbing the fence to get in on the compound, he came out and calmed them down. He promised them that as long as there was a single person left, he would not abandon them. After receiving their visas, the refugees lost no time in getting on the train that took them to Moscow, and by the trans-Siberian railroad to Vladivostok. From there, most of them continued to Kobe, Japan. They were allowed to stay in Kobe for several months. They were then sent to Shanghai, China. All of the Polish Jews who were issued visas survived in safety, under the protection of the Japanese government in Shanghai. They survived, thanks to the humanity and courage of Chiune and Yukiko Sugihara. The visas they issued turned out to be passes to the world of the living. When Sugihara had to leave Kaunas for his next post in Berlin, he handed over the visa stamp to a refugee, and many more Jews were granted life. In 1945, the Japanese government unceremoniously dismissed Chiune Sugihara from the diplomatic service. His career as a diplomat was shattered. He had to start his life over. Sugihara was without a steady job for over a year. Once a rising star in the Japanese Foreign Service, Chiune Sugihara worked as a part time translator and interpreter. For the last two decades of his life, he worked as a manager for an export company with business in Moscow. This was his fate because he dared to save thousands of human beings from certain death. Today, 50 years after the event, there may be 40,000 or more people who owe their lives to Chiune and Yukiko Sugihara. Two generations have come after the Sugihara survivors, and they owe their lives to the Sugiharas. All the survivors call him their savior, some consider him a holy man, and some think he was a saint. Yukiko Sugihara recalled that every time she and her husband had met or heard of people they had saved, they felt great satisfaction and happiness. They had no regrets. After the war, Mr. Sugihara never mentioned or spoke to anyone about his extraordinary deeds. It was not until 1969 that Sugihara was found by a man whom he had helped to save. Soon, many others whom he had saved came forward and testified to the Yad Vashem (Holocaust Memorial) in Israel about his life-saving deeds. The Sugihara survivors sent in hundreds of testimonies on behalf of their savior. After gathering the testimonies from all over the world, the committee at the Yad Vashem realized the enormity of this man's self-sacrifice in saving Jews. Before his death, he received Israel's highest honor. In 1985, he was recognized as "Righteous Among the Nations" by the Yad Vashem Martyrs Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem. He was too ill to travel; his wife and son received the honor on his behalf. Further, a tree was planted in his name, and a park in Jerusalem was named in his honor. He said that he was very happy with the honors. "I think that my decision was humanely correct."Surname Town Country LastUpdated Researcher (JGFF Code) Sepsenwol Utena Lithuania 8 Mar 1997 Edwin T.

Steve Rosen' grandmother was a very involved member of the Dinerstein/
Shepsenwol family from Ilya and Radoshkovichi. Steve uncovered much of the history of those families, as well as the history of many of the shtetles in the area. From The Jewish Daily Forward; http://www.forward.com/articles/fbi-affair-costs-lobby-dynamic-director-rosen/ FBI Affair Costs Lobby Dynamic Director Rosen .... Steve Rosen, 62, grew up a red-diaper baby in New York. His parents, Rosen tells his friends, were too caught up in issues of the left — such as the Spanish Civil War, organizing unions and McCarthyism — to think about Israel. His passion for the Jewish state emerged when, as a young university professor, he studied Israel's wars with its Arab neighbors. He joined Aipac in 1982, after a short career in academia and a stint Rosen pushed for the formation of an independent think tank that would "He's a very talented person," said Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice http://www.eilatgordinlevitan.com/kurenets/k_pix/dinnerstein/1din_b.gif |
