| We will never forget the nobility of your appearance and refinement of your souls with which you were graced, our dear sisters Hinda and Marishka. Our dear mother, there is a great deal to write about your dedication to us, your daughters. You were widowed at a young age and bore the yoke of the family. You were a refined soul a pure spirit. We are proud of you mother.

| Our father Shevach was born in the year 5640 (1880) in Minsk. He later settled in Volozhin and married our mother, Golda. They had seven children.
Our father was liked by people, and occupied himself with communal affairs – not for any remuneration. He served as the gabbai [trustee] in the synagogue and was among the founders of the Tarbut School of Volozhin. Our brother Yisrael and sisters Chaya Sarale, and Musia were among the founders of Young Zion and Hechalutz. Our home was a Zionist home, and was always open to anyone in need. The family members who remained in Volozhin perished in the Holocaust. |

| Our father Yitzchak Sharira and our mother Sara Esther (Antka) (she was from the family of Rabbi Hayim Hillel Fried, a scion of the splendid Volozhin dynasty), owned a medicine business.
Our father was very connected with the Ets Hayim Yeshiva of Volozhin. He would give tithes of his earnings for the benefit of the Yeshiva lads. He also gave them medicine for free. Of the seven children, three survived, and they live in Israel. Perpetuators: daughters Chana Fried (Sharira), Mina Dwik (Sharira), and son Hillel Sharira |

| My grandfather (see pages 500-501 regarding him) had four daughters and two sons. One daughter, Fruma, married Chatzkel Rudanski, who owned a metal and paint shop. He concerned himself with the poor, and saved many from the disgrace of hunger.
The second daughter, my mother Hinda, married Shlomo Rosenberg. My parents earned their livelihood through the pleasant attribute of hosting guests. Groups of indigents who wandered from Vishnevo to Volozhin benefited from being hosted as guests in our house that stood in the forest. My mother did a great deal of charitable deeds. “Her palm was open to the poor, and her hand was extended to the indigent.” [Proverbs 31:20] The third daughter, Sara, married Yosef Finger, a former teacher who left teaching and became involved in manufacturing enterprises. Even though Sara did not live a life of wealth, she helped poor brides, both with her own money or by collecting donations. The fourth daughter, Rachel, married Yitzchak Mishkin, a scholarly Jew. He too was known for his good traits and efforts for those in need. The son, Moshe Rappoport, built the flourmill and sawmill in Volozhin in partnership with my brother Reuven Rosenberg. The second son, Yehoshua Rappoport, married the dentist Sara Berkman. He was great in Torah. He had studied Torah from the greats of Minsk. He also had general education, and graduated from the gymnasja in Minsk. The only survivors of my extended family, aside from me, are my aunt Esther Rappoport and her two daughters who live in Australia. Perpetuator: daughter Miriam Levitan (Rosenberg) |
