Tombstone for the hallowed victims of our town Bereza-Kartuska and surrounding areas murdered in 1942 by the accursed Germans and their helpers (may their names and memories by oblitered). In memory of my dear parents: Yehudah and Bashke Tukhman, in memory of my sisters: Mashe, Mine, Esther and Hanna, in memory of those killed as partisans, at the front and in other places. I memorialize the blessed victimized families and the town in which they lived, in grattitude for having been chosen to survive the wars as a Polish soldier on September 1, 1939, as a German prisoner, in the ghetto, with the partisans and in the Russian army.  Moshe Tukhman, 18 Bergson Street, Ramat Aviv, Israel.  Tel. 03-427485
