My father was the next child in the family, and then came Berl, who moved to Palestine, when he was young. He changed his name to Dov. [Berl is the diminutive of the Yiddish Ber, meaning Bear in English, just like the Hebrew Dov is.] He had two children: Zipora, a daughter, and a son whose name I can't remember. Dov passed away a long time ago; his son died in 1990. His daughter is still alive. My father's brother Girsh, born in 1907, and his wife Esther lived in Vilnius. They had no children. Girsh had a small shop. He was an engraver and made skilful monograms on jewelry, dishes and tableware. Girsh and Esther perished in the Vilnius ghetto [6] during its elimination in October 1941.
