The Destruction of Glubokie (Hlybokaye, Belarus) Jonathan Wind

This book is in memory of the YAVNOVITCH AND GILINSKI FAMILIES OF KOBYLNIK whose link to GLUBOKIE came from the autobiography of the late Meir Yavnovitch(Meir Yavnai z"l, of Tel Aviv), who went to GLUBOKIE to continue his education and lived with his mother's (Raiza Gilinski) cousins, SHALOM AND GITA(?) of Glubokie (whose business was seeds, oil, grease for the Carriage wheels, etc). This was about 1921-1925 where he studied with a private tutor. He was not embarrassed to write about his romances with the beautiful girls of Glubokie, Gite Gordon was one of them (mentioned in this book, pag3 97-the lover of a German officer-Shultz, Gite was later murdered) which adorns his photo album. Translating these Yizkor books opens up a window for many children of Holocaust survivors who never met their murdered relatives, a never-ending story in which many, many intriques are discovered and adds dimension to one's family history....
