The Family of Michael Ruskin.
Michael Ruskin is the son of David Ruskin and Dora Ruskin Kekst. The illustration, with family picture, below appears in a biographical work about Michael Ruskin's family. The background, including map and the official rubber stamp of the Vaad HaKehila (Jewish Community Council) have been taken, with permission, from this website.
Michael has written to us that there is some doubt about his actual family name. His birth certificate states the name Rusken. However, to date, no official records from Mazheik have been found with the name Ruskin or Rusken. As can be seen from the caption to the illustration below, the picture was taken in Mazheik in 1936.Seated in the centre are Rabbi Haim Kekst and his wife Devora, Michael Ruskin's grandparents.
As more information comes to light, pertaining to the family Ruskin/Rusken in Mazheid, it will be published on this site. If vistors to this web page have pertinent information in this regard, the webmasters would appreciate hearing from them.
