Meshulam Zusia Weisburg
Died at 22.

"I will not give my life without a price."  These were the words that were on his lips in the days of his suffering and wandering on his way to the Ukraine. W hen it was rumored that on the way back from Mohilev to Ataki, the Germans would drown all the Jews in the Danister 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 top on his mind, 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, and in the meantime, the government changed and the Soviets came into Brichany. Even then his Zionisrt works didn't end -- this time in the underground, until the the necessity arose. . . .

When the refugees from Kofedgorod 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 Rhovilevitz.  There he died, together with all the residents of that city.  An eye witness of the few survivors told that he was thrown into to the mass-grave but jumped out and started to escape.  He was shot and was hit in the leg.  They dragged him and threw him into the pit, and he was buried alive.

Gitel, wife of Yechiel Tasharcas
A loyal companion, went in his way and assisted him in his work, community and Zionist. She drank a 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.
