Landsmen in Israel, Part 2

Baruch Schwartz reports: "On the 70th Anniversary (2011) of the Radzilow massacre, a small group of Israeli descendants of Radzilowers met for the annual commemoration at the Holon cemetery. Baruch, Alan and Ruth Schwartz (Gutferd), Avraham Dotan (Poritsky), Avraham Dorogoy (who recorded the event and took the pictures) and Ephraim Kowalsky.
May the sacred memories of our ancestors never cease to inspire us and shape our identities."

Baruch is a descendant of Radzilow Gutwert and Porycki (Poretzky) families.

Baruch Schwartz reports: "The 66th anniversary (2007) of the Radzilow massacre (July 7, 1941; Hebrew Calendar 12 Tammuz) was marked at the Radzilow monument in the Holon cemetery. The only attendees were my cousin Avraham (Porycki) Dotan of Tel Aviv, Frieda (nee Kowalski) Aharoni, Esther (nee Szwarcberg) Caplin and I, Baruch Schwartz of Efrat. We did manage to get together a minyan to say kaddish."

Baruch is a descendant of Radzilow Gutwert and Porycki (Poretzky) families.
