On his arrival in New York, to which he had escaped from Portugal with his family out of fear of the Nazis, he began taking care of our fellow townspeople in the United States and other countries even before he put down roots. He was one of the first Jewish Americans to visit refugee camps in Germany and Italy. There, he was the first person from Kremenets to meet Holocaust survivors from our town.

He treated them with kindness and great mercy and gave them generous financial aid from himself and the organization in New York.

Vakman described these dramatic meetings, which were accompanied by tears and great happiness, in Pinkas Kremenets, page 439, and especially in the memorial book^[10] published by our fellow townspeople in Argentina, in his letters to us, and during meetings when he came to visit us in the Land.

We established the Organization of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel in 1946.

Since that time, Vakman has stood at our side, ready and willing to support any project our organization established to memorialize our martyrs. His help was not only financial but also moral. He corresponded with us during the 35 years of the organization's existence. In all of his letters, he expressed his great pain at the loss of our community and his longing for her Jews, their way of life, and their distinctive humor, with which he himself was greatly blessed. We drew a lot of encouragement from his letters and his visits to Israel.

[Page 39]

In the two memorial books published by our organization in Israel and our Landsmanschaft in Argentina, and in the Voice of Kremenets Emigrants booklets published by our organization in the past 14 years, Vakman wrote articles that were full of humor and folklore. Those works and his letters constitute important material for research on Jewish folklore and Jewish towns that were destroyed.

We were very sorry when his vision faded during his last years, so much so that he could not read what he wrote.

A few months ago, when his friend, our fellow townsman Avraham Abir (Biberman), of blessed memory, died in the Land, I received a letter from him. Attached to the letter was a letter of condolence to Avraham's widow. We were greatly surprised when we saw the two letters (one for me and one for the widow mentioned above). Both were readable, especially the letter of condolence, which was written in beautiful Russian in his large, handsome handwriting.

We had reason to hope that he would very soon be able to write new articles for our booklets. To our deep sorrow, the letter mentioned here was his last. It arrived from Miami, where he lived during the winter with his wife, Glikel (Genya). In this letter, Vakman told us, among other things, that he was taking regular classes in the Mishna along with our fellow townsman Nachman Likht and recommended that my friends and I do the same.

His daughter, who lives with her family in Israel, was visiting them when he sent me that letter. When she returned, she called me and told me with great optimism that both her parents were doing fine.

One morning, two weeks after that conversation, she called me again and gave me the sad news about the death of her father. According to his wish, he was buried in Jerusalem. At the airport in New York, most of the Kremenetsers who live there accompanied him to the plane.

It is hard to express in this narrow space all that Vakman has done for us. We will do so on a different occasion, based on the articles that published in our booklets and his letters to us. His spirit and his great love for our old home and the Jews of our town will continue to accompany us in all of our activities.

We have lost a beloved friend whose qualities and good deeds we appreciated.

We are sorry for the loss, and we will not forget him!

May his memory be blessed!

A eulogy on 30 days after the death of R' Yitschak Vakman, of blessed memory, at the Kremenets Society in New York.

On Sunday, April 5, the New Moon of Nisan 5741, in Jerusalem the Holy City, we accompanied Yitschak Vakman– a true and generous son of Kremenets who dedicated himself throughout his life to Kremenets and its people with advice and deeds–to his eternal rest, may his memory be a blessing. He was a mentsh, an industrious man who worked for the community's needs with perfect faith. After the funeral service in New York, his body was taken to an airplane, accompanied by his grandson, Rabbi Gershon Karasik.

At the airport in Israel, Manus Goldenberg wrote to us, Vakman's daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Tsvibel, awaited him, along with a great number of people, Kremenetsers among them.

Manus and Shaye Goldenberg, among others, eulogized him and mourned our great loss. Manus writes to me that several days before his death, on Passover eve, he sent $100 for poor Kremenetsers in Israel, as he did every year.

Also, Brother Vakman was the largest donor for the annual memorial service for Kremenets' martyrs, giving $150 to the Israel Emergency Fund, for which we collected more than $1,000.

Finally, Vakman suffered from poor vision and could not read or see what he had written. And he had loved to read and write down his thoughts for Kol Yotsei Kremenets. Manus tells me that his last letters were clearer and much better written.

[Page 41]

Vakman, of blessed memory, was a colorful personality. His activities encompassed many areas, but, aside from his concern for community problems and activities, the characteristic that distinguished him was his special concern for aiding individuals. He offered a friendly hand to everyone who came to him. He received everyone with warmth and a friendly face, whether it was a refugee in Israel or an emigrant in America or a young woman, an orphan, Shonye Rish's daughter in Warsaw. All received support and encouragement from Vakman.

He often traveled in America and abroad. Wherever he was, he sought out Kremenetsers and rejoiced with them, whether in refugee camps in Germany or in Italy, or in Israel or Argentina. He was close to our landsmen and, when needed, gave them material support. Two years ago he was in Arizona. There he met with our prominent landsman Medler. They shared nostalgic memories of Kremenets and wrote them up nicely for Kol Yotsei Kremenets. Vakman was the instigator for erecting a fence at the open field at the Dubno gates, where our murdered Kremenets Jewish martyrs' bones were rinsed and taken from the muddy waters in the springs when the snow and ice had left the hills. Before that, he had intervened with the Soviet authorities for permission to erect a fence around our martyrs' bones. He loved our Kremenets Jews and mourned them every year at the service.

When he learned that a Polish lady who had hidden and rescued 12 Jews lived in Poland, he sent $500 for her to come visit Israel at the invitation of the Organization of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel as a mark of esteem and thanks for her beautiful, humanitarian deed.

Yitschak Vakman was the envoy for our remnant and the lamenter for our martyrs.

[Page 42]

One can apply Chayim Nachman Bialik's words to him: “There was a man–good to God and to people–and he is no more.”

Yitschak Vakman and his wife Glikel–may she live long–have a beautiful family in America and in Israel, an honor and a mark of pride for Jews.

May his memory be blessed!

The members of the Kremenets Society in New York express their sorrow and sadness on the loss of our dear and devoted member R' Yitschak Vakman, may his memory be a blessing Brother Yitschak Vakman, of blessed memory, one of the best and most generous sons of Kremenets Jewry, dedicated himself his whole life, heart and soul and with an open hand, to helping our needy landsmen. He was the ambassador and patron of Kremenetsers throughout the world.

Meir Shvartsapel passed away in New York in July 1980. He was the husband of Hinde (née Royt). Meir was born in Bazaliya, near Ostrog. When he was 15, he went to Warsaw, where he worked as a bookkeeper in a stationery business. In 1917 the business moved to Moscow, and from there he emigrated to America in 1920. There he soon found a position as a bookkeeper, and in 1926 he established his own stationery business. He worked hard, but he received many blessing from his work, which enabled him to lead a good life and help his family and friends and organizations in Israel. For his generosity he received many citations, among them from presidents Truman and Roosevelt, and a medal from the American Congress for his generous work on behalf of America. There is also a memorial plaque for him in Netanya and at Haifa University.

Meir and his wife visited Israel several times. They were warmly received by our organization in the College and were deeply moved.

Five hundred people attended Meir's funeral. The rabbi ended his eulogy with these words: “Meir Shvartsapel was a mentsh.” “What title can be greater than that?” his wife asked in a letter to me.

Meir left behind his wife, two married daughters, and five grandchildren. They have all visited Israel and shown a friendly attitude toward it.

May his memory be a blessing!

[Page 45]

In 1943, he joined the labor battalion in Chadera that was preparing to establish Kibbutz Gezer. In Chadera, he met Rivka, from the Hauzner family. They were married in 1946 in Kibbutz Gezer, which had been founded a year earlier, in 1945. In 1947, their oldest daughter, Ilana, was born, and five years later, their son, Doron, was born.

During his life on the kibbutz until 1961, he fulfilled various duties, serving as treasurer, secretary, and teacher of Hebrew to new immigrants. He also took part in various cultural and educational committees.

In 1961, the kibbutz was dissolved, and all the veteran members left and moved to other locations in the Land. Avraham and his family moved to Rishon Letsion. Avraham worked as a bookkeeper in a factory in Nes Tsiona until his last day.

After moving to Rishon Letsion, he began collecting stamps, and his hobby expanded. He wrote letters to people around the world and participated in a number of stamp shows.

In 1976, he took part in a stamp show in Natanya and received a bronze medal. The subject was “Ships and Seamanship.”

In 1978, he received a bronze medal in Jerusalem. The subject was “Ships and Explorers.” In Haifa, he received a silver-coated bronze medal for the subject “Research in the North and South Poles.”

On 30 Shevat 5741 (February 4, 1981), he died suddenly of a heart attack.

[Page 46]

One of his friends said these words:

“You were one of the pillars of our society. You fulfilled every duty given to you with loyalty, diligence, and modesty, always with a smile on your face. You knew how to encourage others, and your optimism shone from your heart. You were a model son to your parents, a wonderful husband to your wife, a dedicated father to your children, and to all of us – your family, friends, and acquaintances – you were a beloved friend.

Your memory will remain with us for eternity.”

May his soul be bound up in the bonds of everlasting life.

The Editorial Board of Voice of Kremenets Emigrants and the Board of Directors share the great sorrow of the family of Avraham, of blessed memory: his mother, Chanulya; his uncle, Shlome; and his aunt, Adalya Poltorek. Avraham was among the very few of his generation, our fellow townspeople's offspring, who had a spiritual connection to our organization. He came to the annual memorial services and the Hanukkah parties we used to have. He was ready to take on any duty asked of him. He passed on his attitude toward our organization, one of caring about commemorating its martyrs and the memory of the town where he lived for 16 years, to his son, who is ready to be among the pioneers – our young children – who are ready to continue the organization's activities in the future. – M. G.

[Page 47]

Moshe was born in 1919 to his parents Avigdor and Yocheved. They, his brothers Yakov and Senya, and his sister Sima perished in the Holocaust of our town. Moshe was the only family member to survive. It was a family blessed with talents, and the sons had excelled in the art of painting since childhood.

Moshe's brother, Senya, was a regular visitor to our home. He and my sister, Shprintse, of blessed memory, studied at the same class at the Tarbut School. Together with Liore Gurvits, he painted the beautiful signs that hung over the Vitels' store to call the town's residents to come to the soccer games. It was difficult at the beginning, when that sport was new to our town.

After a lot of wandering and hardship, Moshe and his wife, may she live long, reached Israel in 1949 and built a home there.

For the past 18 years, Moshe worked as a graphic artist for El Al. He found a lot of satisfaction in this work, in which he could express his talent for drawing.

Moshe died in August 1980 after a terminal illness. He left behind his wife, a daughter, and a son.

May his memory be blessed!

[Page 48]

The Bibermans' home stood on Kaznetsheyskaya Street, and the big garden next to the house served as a meeting place for Zionist youth in Kremenets. The oldest son, Moshe, immigrated to the Land long before World War I. Sometime later, he returned to Kremenets and then moved to Moscow, where he now lives. The rest of the brothers and sisters, 10 of them, immigrated one by one over a period of a few years. Avraham immigrated in 1921 as a member of a Pioneer group that joined the Labor Battalion in Rosh HaAyin, which laid the railroad from Ras El Ein to Petach Tikva. His group stayed there for only a year. They belonged to the political party Young Worker^[12], while most of the battalion members belonged to Unity of Labor. Sometime later, the group moved to Tiberias, where they established the construction company Bazelet, which built a new subdivision in the upper part of the town. They lived in Tiberias for a number of years and then moved to Jerusalem. There, Avraham became a foreman in the construction of the university and a part-time contractor in the construction of the King David Hotel. When I arrived in the Land in 1925, I found him in Jerusalem, where he was well known as a building contractor. In time, he became famous for building the apartment blocks known even today as the Biberman buildings. The home of Avraham and his wife, Manya, was always full of visitors, most of them new immigrants from the Soviet Union.

Avraham was very active in the Lions Club and held important and distinguished positions. One day, he was crowned with the title Worthy Citizen of Jerusalem.

[Page 49]

During the War for Independence, when there was a need for expert builders, I drafted him to one of the military services, called the Storage Service at that time. The service was responsible for building military bases and installations. Avraham received the rank of captain and was in charge of the Negev region. He dedicated himself to his duty and invested all his expertise and talent in it. Among other bases, he built the army's first military base south of Beersheba, quickly and with great efficiency. He lived in the desert most of the time, and when I saw him, I thought that his mother had been wrong to think of him as fragile. After the war, we talked about his time in the military, and he never mentioned that his businesses were suffering then. He always said that that year was the happiest of his life. In my opinion, he felt that way because he had the opportunity to stand up to a challenge that was put in front of him, and he was able to help the country during a national crisis. This was one of the many challenges of his life, and he succeeded in all of them.

In 1980, Avraham and his wife, Manya, became very ill. They sold their home in Jerusalem and moved to Tel Aviv, near their daughter, Leya.

Avraham's illness did not last long. On September 23, 1980, he died at the age of 85 and was buried in Holon.

May his memory be blessed!

[Page 50]

After World War I, my grandfather died during a typhus epidemic and left behind a widow with three young children. They moved to Kremenets and lived in great poverty. But my father, who started to work at a young age, continued with his studies and became an excellent accountant.

After the war, my father took an interest in the Zionist movement and became an active member of the Jewish Social Democratic Workers Party^[13], Right Wing, and Pioneer. In the mid-1920s, he left for a Pioneer training kibbutz to prepare himself for immigration to the Land. There he met Sonya, of the Finkelshteyn family, which lived in Rovno, and in time, she became my mother. The two were married before their immigration to the Land, but at that time, there was a complete halt in immigration certificates.

Instead, my parents established a home in Rovno. It was a Zionist home full of social activities. They sent me, their only son, to a Hebrew nursery school and later to the Tarbut School. In addition to his involvement with the Zionist movement, my father was active in the labor movement.

When World War II broke out and Rovno was captured by the Russians, the Russians knew about my father's involvement in the Zionist movement but forgave him, thanks to his involvement in the labor movement during Polish rule. When the Germans invaded Russia in June 1941, my father insisted that we escape to the heart of Russia, far from the Germans. By doing so, he saved my life and my mother's life. Those who did not escape from Rovno during the early days of the war perished in the Holocaust.

[Page 51]

During the stormy days of World War II, we experienced a great deal of hardship, finally arriving in Poland in 1946. A few weeks later, we continued our illegal journey to the Land of Israel.

When my parents arrived in the Land, they settled in Haifa. The pains of absorption were difficult, but we were greeted with understanding and love. My father got a job as an accountant for the municipality of Haifa, and a few years later, he moved to Tenova, where he worked until his retirement. My mother worked as a nurse at Rambam Hospital.

In addition to his work, my father was very active in the Labor Party (Mapai in those days). He and my mother loved cultural life and attended the theater, concerts, and lectures.

My mother's death in 1975 was a very difficult blow for my father, and, in fact, he did not recover from it until his death on August 1, 1980.

Brayne leaves her devoted son and two grandchildren.

May her memory be a blessing!

[Page 53]

(Died on 11 Adar II 5741; March 17, 1981)

During World War II, she and her family, like many others in our town, migrated to Russia with the stream of refugees. Her family's situation was not good, and they were even hungry for bread. All that did not affect her, since she was proud of her Judaism and proudly carried the name Jewess. She had many daring and dangerous arguments with anti-Semites and sworn Jew-haters.

Like her father's home in Shumsk, her home in the Diaspora and in Israel was always open to those who needed a helping hand. Each new immigrant from Shumsk who came to her home was received with kindness, an open heart, and warm hospitality, and through this, she eased their pains of absorption.

In the Land, she kept up an extensive correspondence with people from Shumsk who lived abroad and with a few survivors who remained in Russia and could not reach us for various reasons.

[Page 54]

She was an expert communicator and kept in touch with people of all ages.

She was a walking encyclopedia, and she told her listeners stories and facts about the Jews' life in Shumsk and the area. She did not miss a single detail; it was as if the incident had happened only the day before, and she told her stories with great nostalgia for Shumsk, our town.

After the war, when the Bandara gangs (Ukrainian nationals) controlled the roads, she left for Shumsk under great risk to her own life to see the destruction with her own eyes and visit the mass grave where the bones of our martyrs and loved ones were buried. The song of their lives was cut off, and they were not fortunate enough to see freedom and liberty, the downfall of the Nazi animals and their followers, and the revival of the free state of Israel.

May her name be remembered together with Shumsk's dignitaries who worked to help others, and this is her greatness.

We are sorry for the loss, and we will not forget her.

May her memory be blessed and her soul be bound up in the bonds of life!

[Page 55]

(Died 25 Tevet 5741; January 1, 1981)

Combined within him were the better parts of two towns: Berdychiv^[14], where he held the rabbinical chair as counselor to Rabbi Levi Yitschak of Berdychiv, of blessed memory, and Shumsk, our small town, with its rabbis, community leaders, Zionists, and Pioneer leaders.

He was active in the Zionist movement and the two national funds. I remember his appearances at meetings and conferences as a representative of the movements.

With his marriage to Sara of the Bernshteyn family, he put down roots in our town and built a splendid family. By doing so, he added another branch to the Bernshteyn's distinguished family tree.

At times, public service caused him to neglect his family's financial needs, but his wife was not angry; she encouraged him to dedicate himself to this work.

The hardships that the Jewish nation suffered during the Holocaust, Shumsk's Jews included, and the troubles he and his family experienced in the Diaspora did not darken his personality or his good human behavior. He remained the same Yehoshue Fiks that we remember with kindness and respect.

[Page 56]

At the end of World War II, he did not look for an easy way of life and good living in the new Diaspora. As a Jew raised on the knees of Zionism, he immigrated to the Land. Here, he avoided charity and benefits. He turned to the profession (as an accountant) that he loved so much – and continued to work until his health failed him.

As it was in Shumsk, so it was in the Land. His home was always open to anyone from Shumsk or Kremenets who arrived in the Land as a new immigrant or tourist. He maintained close connections with them, and everyone enjoyed his warm home and hospitality.

This is how I knew him.

May his memory be blessed, and may his soul be bound up in the bonds of life.

[Page 57]

Leya was born in Shumsk in 1916. She studied at the Tarbut School and the Polish High School. In 1939, she married Melik Efrat of Kremenets. She left Shumsk before the Germans entered and lived in the USSR until 1958, when she returned to Poland. A few years later, she immigrated to the United States.

She passed away on November 7, 1980.

She left a husband, a daughter, and a brother.

May her soul be bound up in the bonds of everlasting life.

[Page 58]

When the war broke out, she left town with her brother and her cousin, both 15 years old. She took care of them like a mother during the war.

During her stay in the USSR, she met her husband, Mark. There they were married and their daughter Brakha was born. In 1959, they came to the Land via Poland. Together they established a home, and their son Yakov was born.

Her daughter is married and has two children, grandchildren to Zhenya and Mark.

Three years ago, she became ill and had surgery. Since then, she had been afflicted with great pain and suffering. She passed away on May 25, 1981, at the age of 62.

May her memory be blessed!

Zhenya's father, Aharon Berman, and Yosef Zemberg, of blessed memory, were the pioneers of the furniture industry in Kremenets. Aharon was a kind man who was full of energy and initiative. He supported the Zionist ideal and donated to the national funds with an open hand. In his factory, Pioneer and Youth Guard members received pioneer training in carpentry before immigrating to the Land. Among them were Yonya Bernshteyn and our Manus.

[Page 59]

Many Jewish young people, students, volunteered for the fighting Red Army battalions for the purpose of getting revenge on Petliurists and various other bands of bloody hetmans. This was also the goal of Shikhman and his friends when they joined the Red Army ranks. They, like all the Jewish fighters, took part in hard battles that lasted for months, and they helped rout the murderous pogromists.

All Kremenetsers who took part in the battle remained in Russia and settled there. But after the establishment of the State of Israel, his brother, A. Kaufman, went, and Yardenski began to write frequent letters to his relatives in Buenos Aires, letters full of enthusiasm and love for Israel. One of the letters fell into the KGB's hands, and he was forced to leave his place of employment and he became a suspicious pensioner.

In 1976, he immigrated to Israel with his family, where he spent five happy years in Afula until his death. From Afula he would often send letters to the Russian newspaper Nasha Strana, which was published in Israel.

[Page 60]

On 12/10/80, he felt a terrific weakness, and he soon went to the Afula hospital for intervention. On his third evening in the hospital, while walking in the corridor, he slipped and fell down the steps, seriously injured. Yardenski left behind a daughter (his wife, of blessed memory, died several months earlier) and two young grandchildren.

His brother, who goes so often to the absorption of new arrivals, says that Yardenski's absorption process was ideal. It is a shame that his end was so sad.

May his memory be a blessing.

[Page 61]

In her personality, Mother was the image of the beautiful country of Israel: the Land of Israel of the working pioneers, engaged in the absorption of new immigrants and in education.

At the beginning of her life in the Land, Mother worked as a Jewish watchman in Givat Zaid, in the beehives, in agriculture, and in whatever, as long as she fulfilled the deed of working for the country. She brought her sister, Sonya; her brother, Avraham Barshap, of blessed memory; his wife; and their small son to the Land, and she helped other new immigrants.

In her work as a nursery school teacher, she educated many small children and provided them with warmth and love. Above all, she was a mother with an open heart who helped those in need. She helped orphans, widows, the sick, and the handicapped, always with her typical modesty.

To us, her daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters, she provided warmth and dedication. To us, she symbolized mother and sacrifice. Everything we managed to accomplish, we accomplished because of her.

May her memory be planted for eternity in the hearts of her family members, admirers, and friends.

Mother dedicated her body to science.

May her memory be blessed!

[Page 62]

From his early teens, Dov had a recognizable talent for handicrafts, along with the joy of creativity.

During World War II, he excelled as a professional worker in the British military base in Beit Nabala and gave professional help to new workers. With his meager finances, he established a metal factory, and a number of families earned a respectable income working there.

He was a modest man in his daily life, shy and blessed with simplicity and honesty. He did his work with love and dedication. With his death, he left a wife, a son who is a doctor, a daughter, and grandchildren.

May his memory be blessed!

My father, of blessed memory, came from Kremenets.

He escaped to Israel from the Nazi's claws.

He was credible and noble and was liked by people.

He was moderate and tolerant even during difficult days.

He was a modest, decent, righteous man.

The world relies on people like him.

His only wish was to help others.

He was blessed wherever he worked.

You left us sad and gloomy.

Today we are standing before you,

because a man was returned to the earth.

If only you could be our shining star in the darkness. – Brakha (daughter)

[Page 63]

When I mention the name of my beloved husband, he stands tall and erect before my eyes, full of energy and humor. I remember his many struggles for justice and honesty and his willingness to protect Jews with his own body. When I met him in the Land, he was always ready to help his fellow man. Everyone who met him was captivated by his charm, beauty, and modesty. His charm, intelligence, and good taste reflected his inner beauty. He loved people, loved the truth, and avoided dishonesty. His actions and his speech complemented each other.

The need for perfection led him to dedicate himself, body and soul, to various organizations, and there was no limit to his dedication.

With his wife, Naomi, he spent days and nights in public service. Everything he did for the nation and the society was voluntary. He followed this road until his last day.

Yitschak's passing was a great loss not only to his wife, Naomi, but also to his brother, his family members, and the many friends who listed his name in the Jewish National Fund's Golden Book. A rare image blessed with classical and Jewish culture, honesty, admiration for beauty, wisdom, and dedication to others has disappeared from public life.

His intelligence and nobility stayed with him until his last moment.

His memory will live with us for eternity!

[Page 64]

He was the youngest son of the extensive Shtern family in Kremenets. Berel, the blond, good-looking teenager, was a powerful and amazing Jewish singer and served as soloist in the Great Synagogue's choir.

He arrived in Israel with his family – a young wife and two young daughters – at the end of 1957. He quickly established himself in the country and became one of us. He experienced many difficulties during the war years – wandering throughout the USSR until he arrived in stormy Poland, which was robbed and emptied of her Jews

His family lost a husband, father, and brother – and there is no measuring the magnitude of their loss.

I lost a childhood friend, a friend that a man finds only once in his lifetime.

I mourn the death of my friend, who was like a brother to me, Berel of the Shtern family, and no one can comfort us.

[Page 65]

Ten years have passed since the death of our friend, Arye (Leyb) Kotlir (which was 10 years before his wife Brayna's death; see Voice of Kremenets Emigrants, booklet 7).

Arye was a founder of our organization and one of its most active members. In the years before our connection to the Kibbutzim College, our board meetings took place in restaurants or in members' homes. At first, we met at the home of Yakov Shafir, of blessed memory, and later at Riva Bernshteyn's, of blessed memory. Many of these meetings, as well as small gatherings of just a few of us, took place at Arye and Brayna's apartment in central Tel Aviv.

Their apartment had only one room and a kitchen, plus a shared bathroom, as was customary at that time. The room where they lived with their small son also served as a workshop.

Arye was an excellent tailor, and many customers gathered at his door. But his dedication to our organization and to Kremenetsers, some of them new immigrants who needed his care and recommendations, reached the point that, at times, he left his customers and his work in the middle of the day to take care of them and our organization. Brayna was a partner in these activities, and in Arye's absence, she provided refreshments to those who were waiting for his return.

They lived in this apartment for many years, and only three years before Arye's death, they moved to a spacious apartment in north Tel Aviv. Their son, Gidon, grew up before our eyes in their old apartment. Today he is a manager in the company that manages Dizengoff Center in Tel Aviv.

We feel Arye's absence even today.

In booklet 7 (1970), page 21, we wrote about his personality and his activities for our organization and the workers' union in Tel Aviv.

May his memory remain within us!

[Page 66]

If I go back 45 years in my mind's eye to our beloved Kremenets, I see the noble figure of our mayor of holy memory, Jan Beaupré, before me. I see him riding to work at the town hall in a fire department carriage hitched to two horses, with a driver on the front seat.

I see his kind face with a perpetual smile on his lips in response to greetings from passing residents.

We named him “our” mayor. This word “our” as it related to Mayor Jan Beaupré had a much deeper meaning because he was a congenial, friendly person, did not put on airs, and used the same language and approach with the town's intelligentsia as he did with the many layers of craftsmen and merchants.

He was a just, honest person who treated each citizen of our town fairly without regard to faith or nationality.

It is worth noting his close cooperation with Jewish councilmen Brodski, Gershteyn, Kremenetski, Fingerut, and the lawyer Landsberg as well as with the engineers of the town's electrical power plant, Lisi and David Katz, with whom he even developed friendships.

He was a remarkable manager. He built schools and orphanages, paved streets, widened sidewalks, and cared about the development of hospitals and our town's sanitation needs.

The relationship of the Jewish community with “our” mayor was one of adoration and respect in the spirit of the old Polish slogan:

“He who is noble is not indifferent to us.”

Let the earth be light to him – Sit tera levis.

In this manner, we offer our condolences to the mayor's wife and daughter and to the rest of the family, as well as our deepest sympathy on the loss of their husband, father, and grandfather. – Organization of Kremenetsers in Israel

In Holy Memory Jan Beaupré descendant of a family of uprising fighters, a just person full of goodness, remarkable manager- mayor of beloved Kremenets from 1922 to1939, Soviet prisoner, awarded the Silver and Gold Cross of Merit, honorary Knight of the Sign of the Regiment, died in the 94th year of his life on November 8, 1978 in England. Holy Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, November 25, at 10:30, at Little Brompton Oratory. With deep sorrow, we Kremenetsers CIRCLE OF THE 12TH REGIMENT OF THE PODOLSKI ULANS Bid farewell Instead of flowers, we ask that donations be made to the House of Peaceful Old Age, Laxton Hall, Corby, Northants.

… has the honor to congratulate our beloved and prominent landsman Manus Goldenberg on his 80th birthday, may he live to 120. We celebrate this date with great joy because we know of his good deeds for the benefit of the Kremenets landsmen's organization in Israel. One can say with assurance that he has devoted half of his creative life to the memory of Kremenets. So testify the hundreds of letters that we have received from him over the past more than 30 years; Pinkas Kremenets, published in Israel; the Levinzon Library; and the 18 issues of Kol Yotsei Kremenets, which are real testimonies to Manus Goldenberg's creativity. On his 80^th birthday we wish him, with his true and important wife Chane, long days and years of good health.

In Kol Yotsei Kremenets 17, there was a lamentable error on p. 56 under the heading “Condolences.”

It should read: The Board of the Organization of Landsmen from Kremenets and Vicinity express sympathy to our landswoman Leye Shpigel and her children and son Efraim, daughter-in-law Chayke, son-in-law Ruven, and grandchildren. Be free of sorrow.

On p. 65, “donated by Chayim Fayer 50 dollars” should read from Ester Sher, not Reyzel Sher.

Apologies–The Editors

[Page 74]

Our deepest sympathy to our landsman Yeshayahu Fishman and children Yitschak and Penik, daughter-in-law Ester, brother Nuta, and sister Lifshe Zaydel on the loss of wife, mother, sister, and sister-in-law Sore, may she rest in peace.

Be free of sorrow.

Our deepest sympathy to board member Yisrael and Rachel Laybel on the loss of sister Eva and brother-in-law Solomon, may they rest in peace. Be free of sorrow!

Our deepest sympathy to landswoman Beylke Segal on the loss of her beloved husband Alter, may he rest in peace. Be free of sorrow!

Our deepest sympathy to landswoman Chantse, son Hershel, and daughter Ite (Niata) on the loss of their beloved husband, father, and grandfather.

In November of last year a fatal accident took the life of Yechezkel Garber, husband of our landswoman, board member Fani Reznik. Y. Garber was a supporter of Jewish culture. At every cultural undertaking people encountered Y. Garber along with Fani. He always conveyed material for many cultural institutions. Until his last years he was an active supporter and co-worker in the Kremenets organization.

Praise his memory.

The Board and the Women's Committee of the Kremenets Landsmen's Organization express their deepest sympathy to board member Fani Reznik and children on the loss of husband, father, and grandfather Yechezkel Garber, may he rest in peace.

Be free of sorrow.

I write this obituary with great sorrow and woe. It is hard to believe that Chayim's deep mentshlich heart beats no more. Two weeks ago when I met with him, he reminded me not to forget to come to the seder, as I have done every year for 30 years. He would invite his whole family to the seder as well as landsmen, 30-40 people. He was particularly solicitous of widows.

For us, he was like a brother in sorrows and joys. His door was open to everyone on holidays. The Kremenets organization was welcome in his house.

Our organization's board chose him as a representative to the cultural association of Polish Jews. He was also active as vice-president of Jewish National Fund city committees.

Six months ago, he was suddenly beset by a serious illness. It seemed that he was returning to health. Sadly, our hopes were disappointed. He was operated on again for an incurable illness. The next day, he left us forever.

He left behind his faithful life-partner, Chane, and his devoted children and grandchildren.

With the death of Chayim, may he rest in peace, our landsmanshaft has suffered a devastating loss.

On behalf of the Board, the Women's Committee, and all landsmen, we express our sorrow and woe and join in Chane's deep sorrow, our devoted board member, and that of her whole family.

You should find consolation in the good reputation Chayim left behind and in his work for the community.

Honor his memory!

May he be bound up in the bond of eternal life.

From Di Presse, Saturday, March 20, 1982

We hope they find solace in each other and know no more sorrow.
