LUBONICHI

Valentina Aleksandrovna Oleinikova, born in 1939

I used to work as a teacher of history and collect historical information. However, I never dealt with the Jewish theme. Several years ago I received a letter from Bluma Beniaminovna Marshak, who was born in Lubonichi. She sent me a list of the Jews, who used to live in Lubonichi. She remembered the names of more than 40 people.

Memorial to the murdered residents of Lubonichi. Exact place of execution has not been found.

At the age of 7 I was sent to work in the family of Zina Kaznelson, where I worked until the beginning of the war. One day, during the war, I approached their house, trying to go in. I saw policemen next to the houses. One of them told me that a punitive squad would soon arrive and it was dangerous to go in. I promised them I would only take a minute.

The family managed to escape into the woods. Later I found out they had been caught by Nazis.
