JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page #general
Bruce Drake
Yizkor books are full of accounts of Jews resisting the Nazis and
other anti-Semites who persecuted them: uprisings in the ghettos of the camps, acts of heroism against those who tried to murder them, partisans dealing justice to the enemy. Aharon Moravtchik tells a different kind of story in =E2=80=9CMy Small Revenge for the Heinous Crime from the Dayvd-Haradok (David Horodoker) Yizkor book. He had lost myentire family, my wife, my four children, my parents, brothers and sisters, the entire Jewish community of my home town. He had kept a list of names of those who had committed these crimes and, after the war was over in 1946, he resolved to be the blood-avenger for my David-Horodoker brothers and sisters, tracking down those involved in the atrocities that befell his town.
