Genya Shaikevich’s family

This is my cousin Genya, my mother's brother's daughter, utmost to the left.
Lev Shaikevich, Genya's husband, is utmost to the right, with their two children. The photo was taken in Yanovichi in 1933.

Mom’s elder brother Mendel-Chaim Pakson also lived in Yanovichi with his family and worked as a carter, delivering food products. He was executed by the Germans. His daughter Genya was a housewife. Genya’s husband, Lev Shaikevich, lived next door to us. Genya and Lev had two kids. In 1941 the entire Shaikevich family was executed by the Germans in the neighboring Akhryutki village.
