Dear Naomi,

Did you see the Yad Vashem reports by Yisrael michael's niece?
Yisroel Michael Solonowitz was born in Ilja, Poland to Yosef and Pasha nee Gordon. He was married. Prior to WWII he lived in Ilja, Poland. During the war he was in Ilja, Poland. Yisroel was murdered/perished in the Shoah. This information is based on a Page of Testimony (displayed on left) submitted by his niece Silvia nee Solonowitz of Jerusalem.

He must have at certain point moved to Vileyka since there are reports for him and his family ( wife and a child with unknown names ) in the Yizkor book for Vileyka. I do not see a report for him from those who survived from Ilja ( they gave many reports for their town people).

Elke was murdered/perished in the Shoah. This information is based on a Page of Testimony (displayed on left) submitted by her niece.

Dear Eilat,

I found this picture on your website of Yisro'el Micha'el Solonovich/Soloniewicz/Solonowich (variant spellings) of Ilya/Ilja, Belarus. Do you have any information about him? I believe his mother was Peshe/Pesya Solonovich (nee Gordon) & his maternal grandmother was Yehudit Gordon (nee Hendel or Gendel) married to Moshe Gordon. Yehudit Gordon (nee Hendel or Gendel) was my great-great grandmother's sister Drayze Kosovski (nee Hendel or Gendel). Is there anyone from Ilya/Ilja, Belarus who is living who may remember the man in the picture? 

Yisroel Micha'el Solonovich (however it's spelled) is sitting down in the middle of the picture. He lived in Ilja/Ilya, now part of Belarus. I guess he was born there. I guess his mother Peshe/Pesya lived there as well. Maybe his grandmother Yehudit lived there as well.
