    Biography
    Avraham Rushkin and Miriam Koppelman Rushkin had a son Elisha and a daughter Sarale. Miriam (Mirke) died in 1940. Sarale was murdered in the Dyatlovo ghetto in August 1942. Avraham, a dentist, went from his hiding place in the forest to a former patient, a Polish farmer, to ask for food for him and his son. After a warm reception and a gracious supper, the farmer shot Avraham at close range. Elisha was caught by the Germans. In order not to waste bullets, they split open the head of the six-year-old boy with the butt of a machine gun. Though they left him bleeding in the snow, Elisha survived the war.
