Yom HaShoah: Remembering the Names of the Lost

Today is Yom HaShoah, the annual day of remembrance to honor the Jewish victims of the Holocaust during World War II.  It is usually held on 27 Nisan on the Jewish calendar, which this year fell on April 21 on the Christian calendar.

The following is the list of my known family members who died in the Holocaust.  They are all from the Mekler/Nowicki side of my family and lived in Grodno gubernia in the Russian Empire (now in Belarus).  May their memory be for a blessing.
