#shin-10:The Life of Noach Szejniuk
http://wiesenthal.org/mot/children/snoach.cfm
Noach's parents, Fania and Motel Szejniuk, left Poland before he was born to make a better life for themselves in the more liberal atmosphere of France. Jews in France were treated with equality and were well-integrated into the society. The Szejniuks settled in Paris, a sophisticated city, where the large Jewish population lived in harmony with their non-Jewish neighbors. Noach's father worked in a soda factory.
Noach was a seven year-old schoolboy when the Germans invaded France in June 1940. The Nazis immediately enacted harsh antisemitic measures, barring Jews from most professions and from public schools. Many Jews became impoverished. Foreign-born Jews were deported to concentration camps in May 1941. In June 1942, the Jews of France were forced to wear the yellow star. Soon after, the Nazis arrested almost 13,000 Jews living in Paris and sent them to the nearby Drancy concentration camp. Noach's desperate parents found him a home with sympathetic Christians, who were willing to risk their lives in order to hide him.
Arrests and deportations of Jews to various concentration camps in France continued. If they managed to survive the horrendous conditions in those camps, they were sent on to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. Noach's mother and father were arrested and sent to concentration camps. His mother was sent to a camp near the Spanish border. Somehow she managed to escape and make her way over a treacherous route through the Pyrenees mountains to refuge in Barcelona, Spain.
Noach's father also managed to escape from the concentration camp where he had been interned. He returned to Paris, where he hid in constant fear for his life. On March 21, 1943, he was discovered hiding in a barn by the Nazis, and he was shot.
In August 1944, Paris was liberated by Allied troops. Noach's mother managed to make her way back through war-torn Europe to Paris in order to be reunited with her ten year-old son.

In Walnut Creek, Holocaust survivor Peri Scheinok recalled how he lived under Nazi rule before he came to the United States in 1942. He spoke Monday at Congregation B'nai Shalom. The state alleges that Webster was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, Bruce Sheinuk, 27, who shot her in the head with a 9mm gun, and tried to make it look as if she committed suicide. But this week in the Joburg High Court, Bruce Sheinuk, 27, a motor mechanic from Windsor West, claimed he was innocent. Gunshot He said Webster killed herself on the fateful morning of July 6 last year, and that he was so drunk he didn't even hear the gun go off. In fact Sheinuk's brother Brian, and Webster's friend (who has not been named) and who was also sleeping in the house didn't hear the gunshot either. The accused said that a month after she died, the police picked him up at home, took him to a men's toilet at the Brixton Murder and Robbery Unit and tried to intimidate him into confessing to having murdered Webster. When he refused, claimed Sheinuk, he was locked up in a "cage" for hours before he was formally arrested. Sheinuk said the night before the murder he had joined his brother, Webster and her friend at a Spur restaurant at 7pm. After having several drinks they went to a nearby pub where Sheinuk said they "really started to party". "Nicola and I were pretty drunk. I started dancing with other girls, and she became very upset. She got on a counter, took off her top and started dancing," said Sheinuk. Sheinuk's brother went home, while the others carried on partying at another pub in Randburg. The three eventually got to Brian Sheinuk's home at about 6am where they fell asleep. Sheinuk testified that he was living with his brother at the time and kept a gun under his pillow at night for protection. He said....day Times - South Africa's best selling newspaper New Orleans insurance exec Edward B.

The David Shenyuk Story http://www.eilatgordinlevitan.com/dolhinov/d_pages/d_stories_shinuk.html I called David Shenyuk in Rishon Lezion, Israel. David was born in Dolhinov in 1925.Davids’ father was Yosef Shinyuk from Vilna. During World War I Yosef was a "fortune soldier", he fought as an officer for the Austrian army and in 1917 was captured by the Russian. He was able to escape the prison camp and hide in the Muschcart house in Dolhinov.Yosef promised that he would marry one of their three daughters for their kind help. Shortly after he arrived he married their daughter; Rosa Ester (Rachel?) and had four children Yidel was born in 1920, David 1925, Shmuel (Shmulik) 1928 and Yakov (Yankale) in 1932. The two other muschcart sisters moved away; Chaya Sora moved to the U.S (has family in Florida) and Bizka moved to a small place next to Globoki ((Zafka?).During the Polish times (1921- 1939) Yosef Shinuk owned a very popular coffee house. Yosef was a tall, very good looking man who spoke perfect Polish (Per Chaya nee Katzovitz Barzam whose mother (Chana) was first cousin of his wife Rosa — Ester) All the polish political leaders and official would come to the coffee house and many befriend him, he was also very capable of kicking the "drunks" out the stairs.In 1939 when the Russian and the Germans divided Poland and Dolhinow was to turn to Russia, the Polish official escaped and they made Yosef Shinuk the head of the police just before they left. Yosef gathered some young people; amongst them his oldest son Eidel and Enshel Exelrod and took tools and weapons from the fire department to defend the area from the villagers who wanted to robe since the area was without rulers for a few days. When the Russians arrived they kept him in the job. After a short time they sent him for training and he received the rank of a Major and became the second to the head of the Police for the entire district. Yosef moved away with the family to near by Krivichi for the job. Chaya nee Katzovitz remembered that one-day Yosefs’ wife came to her mother and told her that Yosef is about to leave his job. The mother was wandering "why should he leave such an important job at a time when jobs and money are so difficult to come by?"Rosa Shinuk said; "They want him to make a list of the well to do polish people to be sent to Siberia and he befriended them and made money from them for many years and he does not want to do it!"Yosef was able to get another job as the head of the bakery and the main food supplier in Krivichi. In June of 1941 the Germans attacked the Soviet Union and all the official workers for the Soviets received an order to leave the area and also to send their families deep in to Russia.David said that his mother refused to go with the family to Russia thinking that they (the Germans) would only harm communists not women and children. She arranged a meeting with her cousin Shimon Gitlitz, he arrived with a horse and carriage to Krivichi and transfer the family back to Dolhinov. Yosef left with the Red Army and arrived to Globoky- Zavka area and decided that he could not go across the border without his family; He decided to return to Dolhinov. Since he knew that all who worked for the Soviets were now in danger, he grew a beard, wore a black beret and glasses and made himself a fake I. D as a political prisoner who is returning from the Soviet Union. He arrived by the river near Dolhinov and found that the Germans were patrolling the bridge. He had no choice but to cross in the water. He arrived all wet in the house of the Norman family. The Normans were afraid to keep him (It was —punishable by death sentence to help escaped "Communists")Members of the Norman family ran to the Shinuks home and told them about Yosefs’ arrival. Once again Shimon Gitlitz came to the rescue and took Yosef to his house were he hid for a few weeks. Eidel the oldest son was arrested by the Germans in July with a dozen other Jews but was able to escape when some Russian tanks came to the area and the Germans ran away.Yosef knew that he could not stay in Dolhinow. He first made an unsuccessful attempt to get to Vilejka. Later on the same day he left for Kurenitz with Leibe Flant who was also in danger.Yosef and Leibe Flant were living in Kurenitz for a few months and then someone recognized them and filed a complaint with the dolhinov policeman who was working for the Germans; Masolovski That Y. Shinuk is walking Freely in Kurenitz.Masolvski who was in friendly relation with some of the Jews and the Russian partisans went to Shimon Gitlitz and said to let Y. Shinuk know that he must escape from Kurenitz at once. Jews were not aloud to leave their hometowns. If found on the roads they would be immediately killed. Rosa Shinyuk dressed like a local Belarus farmer and walked 35 kilometers to Kurenitz to warn her husband. On the same day that Rosa arrived in Kurenitz as soon as they were told, Yosef Shinuk and Libel Flant went to Soly and Rosa returned to Dolhinov.Yosef Shinuk became the head of the Jewish professional ghetto in Soly. FlantEventually Left the Ghetto but Yosef Shinuk was there until the bitter end. Life was difficult for the family. The local Belurssian and Polish population complained to the Germans about the Shinuk family being Communist. Also the family left most of their possessions in Krivichi. Now they were practically starving. Eidel was sent to Vileyka, He studied in the Technion in Vilna engineering before the war. He was transferred to Vileyka to build a mansion for the German rulersDavid was left as the only person who could support the family. He worked for the local farmers, cleaning and cutting treesin exchange for food.The first massacre in Dolhinov took place in 3.28.1942. Many of the Jews hid. The Germans took the Jews that they captured to the market in Dolhinov. When they arrived in the market the Germans made a selection. Most of the Jews were taken to be killed.A few of the Jews who could be useful were spared; David pretended to be his older brother and signed himself as a professional engineer.The local non-Jews who came to watch the killings kept telling the Germans that David was a son of a communist officer but they could not speak German and the Germans did not understand them. The Germans took David with the professional people. The rest of the Jews who were captured that day were taken across the river and shot and burned.Rosa Shinuk with the younger children were hiding and were not found out.After the first actzia the family was moved to the Ghetto. Eidel returned from Vileyka as his job was done. Shortly after he escaped Dolhinov and joined the Russian partisans. During the time of the Communist control Eidel worked with Timzok in the Sobkhos and now that Timzok was a leader of a partisan brigade he took Eidel and Avraham Fridman as well as other young Jews from Dolhinov who escaped to be members of his fighting partisans troop.Eidel was used as a link between the partisans of " the Mastitel Brigade" and the policeman from Dolhinov; Maslovsky, who was working for them undercover.One night Eidel came to dolhinov the get some booths for the partisans. It was the day the Germans had the second actzia in Dolhinov. Months before Eidel and Yitzhak Norman build a hiding place in the house of the Gurevitz family were the family now lived since they had to move to the ghetto. Rosa, the children and the Eisenberg family hid there and they were not found out. Eidel and David made an attempt to escape from the ghetto but could not find a way out.David hid with some Jewish refugees from Plashntzitz and begged them to let his brother in the hiding place but they refused saying that there was no air in the place for one more..(It was true- David left the hiding place after a short time)Eidel hid under a pile of cut wood and was found by some locals and was killed on the spot. David found his hat and his head all splattered when he came out of hiding three days later; his body was not there. He was buried in the common grave. Once again the Germans promised that there would be no more killings. David did not trust them and a week later escaped with two young guys from Plashntzitz . Before he escaped his mother prepared a package for him to take on the road. Three days they walked in the woods in the Kriesk-Plashentzitz area. On the third night the two guys left David and took with them his package when he was asleep. David was very distressed the next morning — but he decided that he must find the partisans. David walked in the forests for another three days until he smelled some smoke. In his heart he felt that it was a partisans camp. He walked toward the direction of the smoke.David kept walking and then he heard an order "Stop!" the partisans jumped down from the treetops and ordered him to lie on the ground facing the earth. They then covered his eyes and took him somewhere for investigation. After an hour of investigation they brought some Jewish partisans from Dolhinov and they told them that David was fine. David was too young to be a fighter and they made him a cook. David told me that in the same troop with him were the beautiful and brave sisters from Dolhinov; Chana and Ela Shulkin. The leaders of the partisan were in love with them and were fighting over them. The sisters were used to spy in the Villages. Eventually there were to many Jewish refugees in the forest and the Russians decided to transfer them across the front to the Russian side since they endangered the partisans.Amongst the people from Dolhinov were David’s’ cousins; Chana and her daughters; Chaya and Sara katzovitz. The oldest girl Bushke was at that point in the kanahanina camp. After the war when the survivors were reunited Bushka told David that after he left Dolhinov to join the partisans his father arranged for his mother and the two younger boys to join him in the ghetto in Soly. He sent a farmer with a horse and buggy to bring them. They encountered some Germans on their way to Sole. They were shot at and little Yankale who was about ten years old was badly wounded. He was found by a farmer who took him to the Ghetto in Krivichi. The Jews took care of him and he recovered but a few months later he was killed with the rest of the Jews of Krivichi in the ghetto. David was never able to find out what had happened to the rest of his family. The group from Dolhinov started walking more then 1000 kilometers to reach the border with Russia. They walked only during night times to avoid being seen by the Germans (there were hundreds of people including many children and old people divided to smaller units and led by partisan) during daytime they hid in the forests.They were sometimes shot at and little Sara Katovitz who was under the guide of David was wounded. After walking more then two weeks they arrived in the area that was control by the Russian partisans. There they were able to walk more freely and some were able to get horses and buggies. Finally they reached the front sometimes during the night and the leader decided to rest here and cross the next day. When they finally crossed the Germans surrounded them and many were killed — but most ran across the border and were saved.They arrived into Paditzi and there we were attacked in the early morning hour and ran in all directions. Later they organized and walked across the line until they reached the train. Davids’ group went all the way to Oppa the capital of Shakeria. There they gave David and Dishkovitz, partisan papers. From there they continued on the train until they reached Sakolov. David joined a technical school. When the studies were finished, David who appeared strong and capable was appointed a supervisor of the same people who just finished their training with him. Despite his appearance, David could not take control of the people. David realized that he would get into trouble with the SovietAuthority for the low productivity of their unit. Subsequently together with Mordick he enlisted for the red army. Before he joined the fighting he was sent for special training with the new "Katusha" rockets. David was then part of a secret elite unit that performed many dangerous tasks. One day he was called to the headquarters. A high officer started screaming at him that he was a traitor. Later on David found out that he was confused with his father and they think during World War I , he was in the Austrian Army ( the enemy of the Russians). It was easy to prove that David was not born at that time, but still he was verydamaged by the connection and they gave him two choices. Either go to prison or join the exiled Polish Army. David decided to join the Polish Army. He was in Army in Lodovov, that was established by Vanda Vistalovski and Suimi in the Ukraine. He fought with the division all through Europe until they reached Berlin. Twice he was wounded. Once from a grenade and fragments his my eye. The second time a bullet in is hand. One day when they reached the road Uddo Tanessa they heard an announcement that the German surrendered. After a few weeks they were sent to Lubine and fought against the Polish white Partisans. They fought them for many, many months. David achieved a rank of Major. In 1946, David decided to leave the army. At that point David was very distant from all that was Jewish. Since he was the only Jew with Polish soldiers and officers for three years and was very much liked by the high command that were mostly anti-smites. They kept pointing to him that the Jews were not "true fighters". After being with them for many years, he accepted their observations, and was ashamed of being Jewish. They convinced hime to register as a Catholic man named Tradiosh. One day while vacationing in Staton, he met Eli Meisel from Dolhinov. Eli was able to convince him that he must return to Judaism. Shortly after David entered a "Kibbutz" in preparation for immigration to Israel (Palestine at that point of time)The name of the kibbutz was Galdonia and it was located in the town of Lodge (Poland). There he was sent for training with the Israeli Haganah. He taught how to use weapons at the Kibbutz. Later on he was a driver for the route of escape forf Jews in Eastern Europe who attempted to leave in order to get to Israel. Jews went from Eastern Europe to Germany to Austria and to Italy. In 1948 there was an order to close the camp in Insbruk Austria, together with the people of the camp, David was sent to Israel. He arrived to Camp Yonah and immediately, was drafted to the IDF and fought in the war of Independence. Shenyuk MEMOIRS by SAMUEL ESTEROWICZ in collaboration with PEARL ESTEROWICZ GOOD ....At the age of 18 my father completed his education and went to the Ukraine in search of a living. Regrettably, the details of this period of my father's life are not known to me. In 1888 my father met through a match-maker and married my mother, Margalit Zeligman, whose mother Mera was also born in Michalishki. My grandmother Mera was the only daughter of Leyzer Shenyuk, a rich timber-merchant who lived in Michalishki, but owned two estates as well as houses and plots of land in the city of Wilno..... ..... During my life time my great-grandfather Leyzer Sheniuk built a synagogue on one of his building-lots in Wilno; my father was its elder by election for eighteen years, right up to his death. By the will of Leyzer the other elder was to be one of his descendants in the male line...... ....My grandmother Mera was my grandfathers' second wife and he also was her second husband. Grandmother Mera had been married for the first time at the age of 14 to a man named Gershater, had three sons and one daughter by him and was widowed very early. I never knew grandmother Mera, since she had died before I was born Grandmother Mera had given her second husband two sons - Shebsel and Joseph and three daughters - Chana, Nechama and my mother Margolit, the very youngest...... .......When the upheavals did not cease after the October Manifesto, my father decided to leave the borders of Russia temporarily and in November of 1905 we, along with the family of my mother's cousin, Lazar Shenyuk, went to East Prussia, to the city of Tilsit. On Friday evening, with the permission of the rabbi, we left the alarms and unrest of Wilno, and next morning arrived in Tilsit, which breathed of idyllic peace and order. Of the things in Tilsit which especially astonished me, an eight year old, I recollect that we could safely hang our room-key by the door when leaving our room in the hotel and that the passengers of the electric train, (I encountered this wonder for the first time in my life), put the fare into the cash-box on their own.Residing for the winter in Tilsit, we returned home when the uprising in Moscow was suppressed by troops which had to come on foot from Petersburg because of the general strike, when the revolutionary movement subsided.... ......Another comrade of my childhood was Kolya, who lived in the same house we did; Kolya was my age, the son of my mother's cousin, Lazar Shenyuk. In 1910 they moved to a new apartment possessing every convenience on Georgevsky Prospect - the main street of the city - and we moved to their old one. The father of Lazar, Kasriel Shenyuk, the brother of my grandmother Mera, built up the timber business inherited by him from his father and became very wealthy. His daughter Keya-lya, later married to Steinberg, was a bosom friend of my mother. My father was especially close, personally as well as in business, to two of Kasriel's four sons - Aaron and Lazar, the owners of the house in which we lived. The wife of Aaron, Rosa Ilinishna, was from the small town Shchedrin and came from the family of Golodtsy (now multi-millionaires in the United States). Aaron was head of the timber firm of Shenyuk and Regoler (a brother-in-law), one of the very largest in Wilno, and also the hereditary elder of our synagogue..... ....... by the will of fate - family ties, the same age, living in the same house and at the same dacha in the summer, the closest comrade of my early years had been Kolya "the little". His father, Lazar Kasrilevich Shenyuk married in 1895 Clara Ezekielevna Zakheim from Kartuz Berezy, receiving 20,000 rubles as her dowry. In addition Lazar soon received 40,000 rubles as an inheritance upon the death of Clara's father. From this marriage were born: a son Kolya in 1897, a daughter Nina in 1900 and a daughter Elena in 1904. Lazar K., always spic-and-span, with the appearance of an English lord, was in addition a man with commercial initiative. Being a participant, along with his brothers, in timber exploitation (in Luban and in Stary Selo around Minsk) and the owner of half the house in which we lived, Lazar built in cooperation with my father on the bank of the Wilya river the largest sawmill in Wilno, which brought him tens of thousands of rubles in yearly profit (50,000 in 1913 alone). Lazar's family lived in a wealthy manner, rented an expensive apartment on the main street of the city, had their own carriage and coachman and, in addition to the dacha, in the summers often traveled abroad. Clara Ezekielevna, an intelligent woman, was by nature a brood hen: a devoted wife and loving mother. Her excessive love for her firstborn had, unfortunately, lamentable results, for "little" Kolya was wicked as only a spoiled son of very rich parents can be. Fate endowed "little" Kolya generously in childhood - with the limitless love of his parents, especially of his mother, who fulfilled his every whim, good looks (though marred by stoutness in childhood), a sharp, lively mind, a good memory, an excellent sense of humor - and in addition wealth too. Fate did not give him one thing, however : the ability to control his extravagant whims, of which he had an abundance - more than enough. In childhood I frequently witnessed stormy scenes between Kolya and his parents, when he would hurt them with more than just words. Once, when at the gymnasium Kola was sent to the punishment room, he broke an icon hanging on the wall in a fit of rage - when poor Lazar K. was informed of this late at night, he immediately rushed, not sparing any expense, to seek an icon to replace the broken one with, in order to try to suppress the whole incident and preserve his son from heavy punishment for sacrilege..... ........ Friendship between us was possible only because I was physically stronger than he was. As we were growing up, we would go out together on Saturdays with our high school girls - the ladies of our hearts. At first we would go to the cinema, then take them riding in horse-cabs with inflated tires. In the cinemas, besides films there would appear also the touring so-called "kupletists" (singers of topical, satirical songs.)Vasily Pravdin, Gregory Marmeladov and others.¯Kolya and I enjoyed the kupletists very much and, buying their librettos, zealously studied their soliloquies in order to recite them with feeling to our ladies. In connection with this I recall a comical episode at our house. It was supper time and all of us children sat at the table, mama pouring tea from the samovar boiling on the table. It was very lively, and, in addition I, holding in my hand the libretto of a kupletist, was reciting one of his soliliquies at the top of my voice. Unable to stand my noise, mama entreated me to quiet down and when this did not help, she tore the libretto from my hands and stuck it into the pipe of the samovar, where the fire consumed it..... ....The last several summers before the war - beginning in 1911 - were spent by us in the country place "Zakret" with the family of Lazar Sheniuk. The dachas in "Zakret" adjoined the imperial estate of that name, with its dry, centuries old pine forest stretching for hundreds of desyatins (2.7 acres) extending to the bank of the Wilya river, where we would go to swim. This forest was fenced off on all sides, a fee was levied at the entrance for the use of it - dacha residents bought season tickets. On the same shore was located the poorly preserved palace where, according to stories, Emperor Alexander I was informed, during a ball, that the "Grand Armee" of Napoleon had crossed the Niemen in its march on Moscow. The Shenyuks' dacha was located across from ours and during all this time it was shared by the Baltermants family. Yakov Baltermants, by then already retired, was at one time the owner of the biggest bank in Wilno. It was in the bank of Yakov Baltermants that the subsequently renowned Wilno banker Israel Bunimowicz began his banking career as an errand boy. The Baltermants family was numerous - they had a daughter in St. Petersburg, married to Gregory Russota (co-owner of the Shereshevskaya tobacco factory in Grodno), two daughters in Kiev, one married to the lawyer Volkenstein, the other to the renowned ladies-man Lelya Konigsberg, and one in Warsaw, married to a certain Slutsky. In addition they had two sons in St Ptersburg - a journalist and a dentist. The third, Nicholas Yakovlevich or, as his relatives called him - Noska, lived with his parents in Wilno and, in the summer, in Zakret...... ........ According to the prepared by him "Accusatory Act" read by the Secretary of the Court, on the windowsill of the Shenyuk dacha was found a corpse of a fly of the female sex, with signs of rape by violence. Accused of this crime was the boy Gavrushka Krever ( an often uninvited visitor of all our verandas). The major role in this enterprise, besides that of Nicholas Ya. were held, as far as I can recollect, by: the "Big" Kolya as prosecutor, Musya Slutskaya (a charming, fairhaired and fragile girl of my age) as the defender, our Emma as the foreman of the jury, the Slutsky father as the bailiff and myself as the accusing witness. Gavryushka was found guilty and by sentence of the court deprived of the right to visit other people's verandas for two weeks...... ....Kasriel Sheniuk, the brother of my grandmother Mera, besides Aaron and Lazar, of whom I spoke before, had two other sons - Samuel and Israel. All four brothers, together with a brother-in-law, Samuel Rigoler, owned "Sheynyuks and Rigoler", one of the biggest timber businesses in Wilno, and were very well-to-do. Clara, the only daughter of the oldest brother Israel, went to study in Paris a year or two earlier and, by the time of Anya's departure, had already managed to return with a husband, a native of Odessa, Grisha Tsimbal (in Russian cymbal), whom she had met in Paris..... ...."Anya, said Kolya in parting, Godspeed, only one condition: please don't return with a double-bass". Incidentally, the marriage of Clara with Grisha Tsimbal turned out very unhappilly - the character of Grisha Tsimbal corresponded in general with his last name. He abandoned Clara when they already had a son, as soon as the Sheynyuks were ruined by the Bolshevik coup. I met Grisha Tsimbal for the last time in the fall of 1918 in the Ukraine. He then passed himself off as an Ukrainian colonel and wore the uniform of one. The Ukraine was then under German occupation and was controlled by the Ukrainian Hetman Skoropadsky. ..... The romance I mentioned between our Anya and "Big" Kolya came to nothing, since his aunt, Clara Ezekielevna, the wife of Lazar, opposed the marriage. In our family it was asserted that she wished to keep "Big"Kolya, a highly eligible bachelor by reason of his large inheritance, for her eldest daughter Nina, at that time still a thirteen-year-old girl. As my sister assured me, she parted easily from Kolya, since she felt for him nothing more than liking. But this incident had still other, serious, consequences. At the same time the nephew of Clara Ezekielevna, the dentist Yakov Naumovich Shokhor, courted my sister Emma and Clara E. very much wanted for them to marry. I should add that our Emma was also agreeable. My father however, fiercely offended for our Anya, opposed this marriage under the pretext that Yakov Naumovich was ten years older than Emma. He proposed to Emma that she should also go to Paris, she agreed gladly and went there in October of 1913. ......Upon my return from Germany I found in Zakret Kolya, who during my absence managed also to visit abroad - he had gone to the resort Ragats in Switzerland. He went there with Big Kolya and his mother. I remember an amusing story about this: before his departure Kolya entrusted Gavriushka with seeing to it that his beloved Raya should not be unfaithful. During the time of Kolya's absence, the presence of the beautiful Konigsberg sisters began to attract to Zakret the so-called golden youth from the city and one of them, the medical student Grisha Hochstein started to court Raya and, what was worse, was successful in his courtship. Gavriushka did not delay in informing Kolya of this circumstance and the latter, abandoning everybody and everything, even his suitcases, rushed from Ragats in order to save the situation. Raya did not return to Kolya, however and until the end of the dacha season he poured his ailing soul out to me. Kolya's and my roads separated when Kolya was expelled from the fifth grade of the gymnasium, his good abilities notwithstanding, and his passion for girls lost their former innocent character - he got involved with a chanteuse from the local cabaret, Tanya Slavina. Kolya the little was legally married three times; he died in the Warsaw Ghetto..... http://216.239.51.100/custom?q=cache:EuTCAW3MNhwJ:members.aol.com/michaeldg/memoirssmesterowicz.doc+Shenyuk&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
I have just come across your page http://eilatgordinlevitan.com/kurenets/k_pages/shiniyuk.html thanks to Google, and although it's close, I'm from a branch of Sheinuks not listed. My grandfather was Louis Sheinuk (birth name Lazer Hirsch), whose brothers were Max and Sam Scheinuk, aka Scheinuk the Florist, in New Orleans. My grandfather immigrated to Springfield, Mass., and then lived in Taunton, Mass. until his death in 1955. His family was from Vilnius (not the city, but a village near Vilnius.) His father's name, as we have it, was Shlaime Baer. According to the family story, Shlaime Baer adopted the name Sheinuk (or Scheinuk) to avoid being drafted into the Russian army, and his originial surname was Weiner. I don't know if you're still collecting this information, but if you are, I thought it might be of interest to you. Rosanne Sheinuk Cannito
Kovno, Lithuania...1943 - Yerachmiel (Milik) Siniuk had lost his arm in an ammunition storage bunker where he worked as a slave laborer. Now disabled, he was about to be killed by the Germans. Yerachmiel's brother-in-law, while on a work detail outside of the ghetto, had a chance meeting with Andrius Urbonas, a farmer, and begged him to hide Yerachmiel. Andrius said if Yerachmiel managed to reach his farm, the Urbonas family would hide him. Yerachmiel escaped from the Kovno ghetto and made his way to the Urbonas farm. Andrius, his wife Maria, his twenty-year-old daughter Ona and fourteen-year-old son Juozas warmly welcomed Yerachmiel. They fed him and made a place for Yerachmiel in the barn. The Urbonas family was extremely poor and had barely enough food for themselves. Yerachmiel approached Andrius with the idea of the family hiding more Jews. This way they could all pool their meager resources and perhaps be able to purchase more food. After all Yerachmiel said, if the Germans caught Andrius hiding one Jew or five Jews, the penalty would be the same - death. Andrius agreed to take in additional Jews. Yerachmiel went back into the ghetto where he met Yitzchak Fein and made arrangements for Yitzchak, his wife and two children to leave the ghetto and escape to the Urbonas farm. Once the Fein family was safely in hiding with the Urbonas family, Yerachmiel went back into the ghetto a third time and came upon Henry Kacenelenbogen (now Kellen) whom Yerachmiel knew from before the war. Henry was desperate to escape from the ghetto with his wife and eight-year-old nephew who had just escaped the Children's Aktion - the roundup of the remaining children in the Kovno ghetto. Each time Yerachmiel brought another family out of the ghetto, the Urbonas family would make the hiding place bigger. Ona would bring food each day to the now eight Jews in hiding. She also washed their clothes. Juozas and Andrius would bring them news from the front lines. At first the Jews hid in the barn, then they moved to the house and were hidden in an earthen hole under a piece of furniture. As Yerachmiel wrote in his testimony to Yad Vashem, "All the attention of this noble family was directed toward us, and they tried in every way they could to help make our lives in the barn easier." They stayed with the Urbonas family until they were liberated by the Soviet Army in July 1944. Andrius and Maria died in 1973. Ona is in her 80s and her brother Juozas is in his 70s. They both live in Kovno. Siniuk Rakhel Rakhel Siniuk nee Urman was born in Wilno, Poland in 1889. She was a housewife and married to Eliezer. Prior to WWII she lived in Kovno, Lithuania.

Jonathan showed the film from the 2001 JFR Dinner, in which Ona Urbonas and survivor Yerachmiel Siniuk were reunited. The film prompted incisive comments from the students. One noticed that Ona keeps the photos of the Jews she saved in her bible. Another asked, "Why did the Nazis go after the Jews?" A simple question to which there is no simple answer. In turning to the legacy of rescue, Jonathan told the audience that finding inspiration in these stories is not about emulating the rescuers' actions, per se. It is about cultivating the traits and the attitudes they exhibited and applying them in the everyday situations we face. Jonathan was grateful for the opportunity to talk about rescue with the s tudents, teachers, and community members who attended the workshop. ..." -------------------------------------------------------------------- A long time ago I recieved some emails from Mr. Klaczko about his Sheinuk family from Vilna..... klaczko@.... writes: 1] Mordechai Sheiniuk was a son of Shloime Sheinuk (certainly not of "Kirnichn Dvorchane" = ?Dvoire Chane? = Devora Chana) and owner of a brick factory in Antokolsk, a quarter of Vilna, where also my grandfather Ioshe Ryndziun ( of the Sheinuk family, killed in the Ghetto about 1941) had his transportation and trade yard. I try to remember the building of this brick factory and I assume that I have seen it about 500 meters away from my grandfather's yard (= Ryndziuns Heif = Yard). Both were located on different shore sides of the small river Vileike. My grandfather Ioshe Ryndziun was a son of Shloime Leizerowicz Ryndziun, born Shloime Sheiniuk and renamed Ryndziun as a child, to avoid be captured as a "cantonist" recruit for the Tzarist Army. This suggessts that the father of Leizer Sheiniuk, my grand-grand-grand-father, was on his turn probably a son of a Shloime Sheiniuk, who lived about 1700. Leizer Sheiniuk was the owner of a saw mill in Mikhailishok (= Mikhaliski) near Vilna. Please look at the genealogy diagram attached herewith).
