Dr. Zeev (Vonie) Grophenmacher Died in Kopaigorod at 40, a people's doctor, gave free help to the people of his community during the deportation to Transnistria. Meshulam Zusia ( Zizi- ) Weissberg “I will not give my life without a price.” – Those were the words he used to repeat in the days of suffering and wandering on the roads of Ukraine. When it was rumored that on the way back from Mogilev to Ataki, the Germans would drown all the Jews in the Dniester River, he had plans to drag with him his oppressor. He was 22 at the time of his death, but well accustomed to hard work in his “youth movement” (the Shomer Hatzair), and Zionism, which was always on top of his mind from a very young age, and he devoted to it all of his energy in his short life. He was supposed to make “aliya” in 1940 but the needs of the movement delayed him, and in the meantime the government changed and the Soviets came into Bessarabia. Even then his Zionist works didn't end, this time in the underground, until the murderers arose. When the refugees from Kopaigorod [Transnistria] were deported, he didn't want to accept a life of anticipation of death from hunger and of disease and decided to escape and find a safer place. “If it is at all possible,” he said, “to get to a place which is more secure, I will make the effort to save you from this dark pit.” He did succeed to reach Kurilovtsa [Murovannie Kurilovtsa], and there he was slaughtered together with the rest of the Jewish residents of that shtetl. An eye witness, one of the few survivors, told that he was thrown into the mass-grave but jumped out and started to escape. He was shot and was hit in the leg. He was gagged and thrown back into the pit and was buried alive. The Grieving father

Gitel, wife of Yechiel Tcherkis A loyal companion to her father, followed his way as much as she could, assisted him in his work, community and Zionism. She “drank from the glass of poison” during the deportation from Brichany. Her ability to see what was coming, and her proud independent spirit, allowed her to foil the plans of her attackers to tamper with her fate and spirit. With a clear mind she dove into the river's waters saving herself unbearable suffering to her body and soul. She will remain in our memories forever!
