One of Alexander Paskov's grandfather Yankel Paskov's last postcards to Alexander's father Moisei Paskov

Report an issue

This postcard from July 25, 1941 was one of the last sent by my grandfather Yankel from Starodub to my father in Leningrad.
The postcard was written in Yiddish before the occupation by the Germans of Starodub.

My father did not have any more information about the fate of his relatives who remained in Starodub.

Only in 1943 did he learn of their tragedy in the camp-ghetto in Belovshchina.
In all, 16 members of the Paskov and Levitin family were killed.
