Relatives in Belarus? From Yuri Dorn, coordinator of the Jewish Heritage Research Group in Belarus.: In October 1921, a JOINT representative from the U.S. came to Belarus with an inspection of Jewish life, because it was a very difficult time when Jewish institutions tried to survive. When he was meeting and talking to people in various towns and shtetls of Belarus, some of them wanted to find their relatives in America so they could also immigrate there. Upon returning to the US, the representative produced a report indicating the names and addresses of people in Belarus who were trying to find their US relatives. We are publishing part of this list, which includes Jewish residents of MINSK, SLUTZK, PARICHY, RAKOV, MIR, RUBEZHEVICHY, SAMOKHVALOVICHY and PLESCHINITSY.
