PINSKER ORPHANS

In 1924 a group of 19 orphans, and in 1926 a further group of 34, were brought out to London for adoption, by the Pinsker Orphans Relief Fund of London. They were rescued from the multiple horrors facing Jews in the Pale of Settlement.

I am compiling a book on the three Pinsk orphanages and I appeal to the descendants of these 53 Pinsk orphans to make contact with me and share the life stories of their parents or grandparents.

The book will also include 135 letters, in Hebrew and Yiddish with translations, from the children and teachers of the orphanages. David Solly Sandler sedsand@iinet.net.au
