NY Times article on Belechow #general
MMBegun@...
Tomorrow's Sunday NY Times Magazine section features a wonderful,
hearfelt, and beautifully written account of a trip to Belechow, Ukraine to learn the true story about the deaths and possible betrayal of the author's great uncle and his family during the early 1940s part of the Holocaust in Belechow. It is written by Daniel Mendelsohn, who mentions the contacts he made on the "Jewish Genealogy Web site," which started him on his research of his relatives and eventually led to planning the visit to the ancestral town with 2 of his siblings. Full of details of discovery and the people they met, this is a great story. If you don't have direct access to the NY Times, you can see it on their web site: http://www.nytimes.com/ Look on the right side for "In Sunday's Times," and click on "The Magazine" which has the article as its main feature.
