Remembering 18 August 1941

On this tragic day 71 years ago more than 100 adult men of Lapichi were executed by the Nazis and the polizei. Among them were my great-grandfather Simche Levin and his eldest son Moisei Levin. The rest of the Jews of Lapichi, several hundred women, children and the elderly, including my great-grandmother Chaya Levin, her daughter Dasha and her 3 little sons, her daughter-in-law Fanya (Moisei's wife) and her 2 little boys, were murdered in April 1942. Their memory will forever live in my heart.

No photos of Simche or Moisei exist.
