Elisheva Meira ✡︎ 🌈

The last week I've really struggled with reading a book. Finished one and just can't get started with another.
Realised that for the last two weeks I've been reading a book about a large extended family lost to the as told through memorial pages submitted to Yad VaShem over many years by a young man who somehow survived.
His name was Mendel Griin. He was born in 1925 in Przystajn, Poland.
This is for him.

Sprawling family tree of three generations of an extended Jewish family in Poland, with three siblings on both maternal and paternal sides, a likely 1st and 2nd marriage for one, a tangent to the mother and siblings of a married-in uncle/cousin and four who I couldn't place because there wasn't enough information. There are 57 people, only three of whom survived. Mendel was the youngest brother of his immediate family. He was 17-18 when they were killed.
