Berl Ivenitsky was born in Zhetl in 1921. He graduated high school and was a bookkeeper by profession. He was loved in the detachment and was a happy fellow. In the evening he would sing by the bonfires and bring pleasure to his friends with his beautiful voice. In September 1942 he arrived in the forest from Novogrudek ghetto. He belonged to Kaplinsky's group, and later the third Jewish company in the Barba detachment. He participated in almost all battles. Then he was sent to the headquarters of the brigade and its economic group. Due to anti Semitic tendencies he was sent to one of the detachments of the Varashilovsky Brigade where he remained until liberation. After liberation he was mobilized in battle against Nazi bandits and in 1944 he died heroically fortifying the Narev River. He was buried in that region.After experiencing so many battles, he did not survive to see the total downfall of German fascism.
Sholem Bom worked as a teacher in the Yiddish school in Zhetl. As a graduate from a Polish teacher's seminary he came to Zhetl in 1935 1936 from a town in the Vilna region. He was very talented especially as a music and art teacher. He organized magnificent choirs with the school children as well as adults,[Page 421]who would often perform for the benefit of the Yiddish school. I can see him standing before me, black haired, energetic young man who possessed an incredible amount of energy and was very ambitious. He put much of his talent into the choir as well as amateur circles at the school. This is how his life flowed until the outbreak of the German Soviet war. When the war broke out in 1941 he found himself in the ranks of the Red Army. During a retreat to the east his division was probably surrounded by the Germans and they were unable to unite with the Red Army.It is not known how he arrived in the Lipitchansk forest, either he escaped from German captivity or broke away from the siege. In general, this period of his life and his further heroic activity is draped in mystery.There were a few opinions. Some said he betrayed the Jewish people for a whisky. I will make an effort to evaluate his personality objectively, paying attention the material which has remained about him. I will make an effort to briefly impart his heroic struggle in the partisan movement and his tragic death.He arrived in the Lipitchansk forest at the beginning of 1942, when the amount of partisans could still be counted on your fingers. He came from around Lida where he had previously operated as a legendary commander under the Polish name Khadzietsky. As a Pole it was easy for him to move through the Polish regions where he was loved by the Poles who provided him with information and weapons. When he arrived in Lipitchansk he was already a commander of a detachment which was called Lider. Later, the Varashilovsky detachment emerged from the Lider detachment in the Lenin Brigade, which was known for its anti Semitism and killing Jews. We were told he would walk around in a long leather coat with a belt, armed with an automatic gun. His attitude toward Kaplinsky's Jewish group was cold. This resulted in hatred and disdain toward him but in his situation he could not behave differently. The Christian partisans did not know the brave commander Khadzietsky was a Jew. This was his luck. Thanks to this he was able to play this leading role. However the secret could not be kept for long. At the time there were many Zhetl Jews around who knew him. This passed from Jewish mouths to Christian ears. Khadzietsky also began to feel uncomfortable. It must be said that pretending to be a Pole was useful. He was loved and received an exceptional amount of weapons. His group was the richest in war materials thanks to his personal influence and respect by the Poles. Hearing what was happening to Jews in the surrounding towns and seeing the problems Jewish partisans were facing in the forest, he began to revise his attitude regarding the Jews. He also remembered his gorgeous wife and child who were in the Zhetl ghetto. He sent messengers a few times to his wife wanting to bring her to the forest. However his wife betrayed him with a White Russian policeman who was serving the Germans. Disregarding this fact he sent a few trusted messengers to get her. She never left the ghetto.This all affected him. Analyzing the Jewish situation in the ghetto and the forest, remembering his ties to the Jewish masses, he decided he devoted his efforts to the fight against the German occupant, however his energy and talents were given to the Jewish partisan groups helping them obtain a dignified position.He then decided to secretly go over to Kaplinsky's group but he did not want to go with empty hands. He wanted to bring all the ammunition he had hidden.The Christian partisans from his group learned about this as well as the subsequent leader, Commander Petiye Makorov, for who Khadzietsky was like a thorn in his side. Makorov and a group of anti- Semites decided to get rid of their Jewish commander. Commander Khadzietsky had a devoted adjutant, Leonke, who never parted from him and stood beside him until the last day like iron and steel.Petiye Makorov and his comrades decided to kill Khavdzievsky and his adjutant. In order not to have any witnesses they invited him on a walk in the nearby village, and riding there on horses they shot Khadzievsky and Leonke in the back with an automatic gun and buried them in the marshes. The shameful murderers later defended their actions saying Khadzietsky wanted to betray them and wanted to go over to the Jews and give them all the weapons. [Page 422]The truth was, it was a power struggle.The crime was kept secret and even after liberation Petiye Makorov was not held responsible.This is how one of the creators of the partisan group in Lipitchansk forest was killed. This man could have achieved so much more in the fight against the German fascists. His character must be eternalized as a partisan commander who brought the Jews a lot of honour.
Ruven Berkovsly arrived in August 1942 from the Zhetl ghetto. He was 35 years old. He worked as a cutter of shoe leather, first in the Jewish company and later in the general detachment. He also took part in battles with a weapon in hand. He helped to make sure the Jewish partisans did not go barefoot. He was killed before liberation during the last raid in 1944. When the entire ghetto was blocked a group of partisans decided to tear through the blockade. A group of 25 which did not succeed get away were besieged by the enemy and a few were captured alive by the Germans, including Ruven Berkovsky. They brought him to Zhetl and shot him one day before the arrival of the Red Army.
Ruven Khlebnik was born in Zhetl in 1915. He was a Yeshiva student. He arrived in the forest from the Zhetl ghetto on August 1942. He belonged to Kaplinsky's group and participated in a few battles until the second raid in 1943. During the spring raid he was left in Baylsky's family group because he did not have a good gun. Later, when a group of 25 Jewish partisans escaped from Barba in the Nolibok forest, they took him with them and he joined the Ordzhenikidzhe detachment, Kiravkse brigade, which was active in the Lida region. After liberation he left for the front. He was wounded twice and met his heroic death fighting the German executioners. His place of burial is unknown.
Yoyne Medvedsky was born in 1918 in Zhetl. He belonged to the secret partisan movement in the Zhetl ghetto. He helped to collect weapons in the ghetto and stored them in his cellar. He was sent a few times as a messenger from the ghetto to the forest to Alter Dvoretzky. In the end he was captured in the slaughter in Zhetl at which time he was sent with another 200 workers to the camp in Novogrudek. He escaped from Novogudek and in August 1942 came to the forest and joined the Jewish group. For a long time he was commander of the division. Later, when Kaplinsky's group united with the Christian partisans, he remained division commander. He participated in all the battles and ambushes in the forest. He excelled in battle, collected weapons for the detachment and in the first half of 1943 was sent with many others to the Lenin Detachment. There, he was among the outstanding partisans. Four blown up echelons can be attributed to him.[Page 425]At the end of 1943 he moved to the newly created Red Guard Detachment, where he remained until liberation. In this detachment he partook in two great battles against the Germans, and two train explosions and a difficult battle against the White Polish bandits at the Nieman, near the village Stukali (Zhalud Region). The battle lasted two hours. In the interim they destroyed the boat he used to cross the Nieman and he fell into the river. Barely alive, he managed to save himself and return to his detachment. After liberation, he went with the entire unit to the front. He fought at Volkovisk, Lomzha, Zambrov, and Ostralenka. It was there he was wounded. Once he recovered he was wounded again, sent to hospital and provisionally released. He settled in the town of Bialo Podloska with his wife (Sholem Pialun's sister) who had also been a partisan the entire time. He died under the following circumstances:Travelling by train, he was attacked at the station near Mezritch by Polish reactionaries and shot. At the same time a Jewish girl was also shot and a Jewish boy was severely wounded. This was in 1945. He was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Mezritch.After experiencing so many battles, this is how one of the bravest partisans died.
