As you all know from my previous posts on the Bielski Brothers, after the Bielski Otriad (partisan brigade) was liberated on July 9, 1944, over 1250 men, women and children left the forest to rebuild their lives. Scholars and survivors of the group estimate that over 10,000 people are alive today because of the Bielski brothers.
There is a new registry gathering information regarding survivors of the Bielski partisans.
The information recorded there will assist in the collecting of survivor and second-generation testimony, provide help for those doing genealogical research and provide researchers with a more accurate count of the groups survivors and their descendants.
Registration is voluntary and family members may register names of survivors posthumously.Please forward this to any holocaust survivors and their descendants you know that are affiliated with the Bielski Brothers.

I'll pass it along to our Rabbi. He is friends with Meyer Bronicki, a survivor.
