My father Abraham Stern, his father Yehill Stern, mother Zipora Flamm Gildenhorn. My father was born in Izyaslav in 1892,and came to the USA in 1914. His older brother Herschell Tsvi, came to the USA in 1906. He had a younger brother,Levi that died in 1918, during the Russian Revolution. My other uncle Isaac Jacob Stern made aliyah to Israel during WWI. He was expelled from Israel to Alexandria and returned to Israel about 1921. He married Sonya Krinkin and had 2 daughters Teheela and Yehudith who married Meshulam Riklis. My grandparents and their two daughters made their aliyah about 1922. I know they are all buried in Israel, dont know where. I think that my aunt Rose was buried in Yafo. Yuri Stern (Israeli politician), contacted me shortly before his death,to inform me of much of this information. He is related to me because my grandfather Yehill and his grandfather were brothers. Yuri told me that he had stood in my fathers house in Izyaslav. Yuri was the one that introduced me to my cousin Yehudith Stern formerly Riklis. I believe that one of my aunts married a person surnamed 'Kolker". I believe my grandmother was from Olevsk.
Alpern, Roger
My family from Zaslav/Gritsev left there during 1890-1900. The Halperins were from Zaslav.
I don't know what happened to the family that stayed in Russia, maybe they moved to Leningrad.
My great-grandparents (1900) had the family names Alperin, Swartz, Gorovitz, Cohen Selsburg, Goodman, Doddick, Salit, Yussem, Usin, Sadwin, Brodsky, Soloveichik.
My g-g-grandmother was Zisel (Celia) Brodsky Halperin, born 1850 from Gritsev or Zaslav, near Kiev.

As far as we know all of our families were out of Europe by about 1893.
Bloom, Marilynn
My first connection to Izyaslav is my Great Grandmother, Ita (Henrietta) Oksengendlir (Oxenhandler) Rojzen (b.??). She had 5 or 6 children, one being my Grandmother Esther Rosen Shute. She told me that she was born in Odessa in 1878. I have never found a record of her birth, but I have found records for her siblings. On those records, it shows Ita’s Father was Gersh/Hersh Oksengendler, but doesn’t give her Mother’s name. I was hoping to find any records for Ita or Gersh/Hersh that would lead me to his wife, father, and back to other generations, etc.?
My next connection is my Great-Grandmother on the paternal side of my family, Chana Kaufengauz Beychok,(b. 1869) in Izyaslav and married to Jacob Benjamin Beychok (originally Dankovetski) ( b. 1866 in Kupel). Her mother (my Great-Great Grandmother), was Clara Gorghlerenta Kaufengauz, but I’m not sure of her husband’s name. I haven’t been able to find any records on these birth, marriages, death’s etc.

Cherson, David
We are related to the "Bronfentrinker clan" from Zaslav (now Iyaslav). It was my maternal grandmother and her brothers who came from Zaslav. My grandmother married Yonah Neifeld and moved to Proskurov and that is where my mom and my uncle David were born and lived until the 1919 pogrom, migrated to Kiev and then escaped in 1922. I have a few Neifeld relatives who did perish in the holocaust and in the Red Army during the war.
I am also unsure of when my great-grandparents, Elchanan and Miriam Bronfentrinker, died.

Derby, Frank
I did indeed have relatives from Izyaslav. I believe, however, that my direct ancestors had emigrated around the turn of the century. I have no information about relatives who remained behind. I'm sorry.
Let me know if I can still be of assistance.

Dressler, Reuven
I certainly do have family from there, the Bronfentrinker-Berman family, but I am not aware per se of specific people of the family that may be murdered in the Holocaust.
I am writing here a cousin of mine, David Cherson - he may have more information .

Doctor, Bruce
I have family from the Izyaslav area, but not from the town itself. They came to the US in the 1880s, and I don’t know the names of any relatives from that area who were victims of the Holocaust.
Hajdenberg, Louise
... my relatives left much earlier, around 1910.
Your list would be of interest in case some did not leave the area.
I had relatives in a few towns within a few miles of Izyaslav, Ukraine.

Lee, Ann Dee
- My paternal Grandmother, Zlata Zychofchyk Glazer and her family were from Zaslav, Russia.
- While she never spoke of them, the names on her tombstone said her father was Zev Wolf and we think her mother was Rochel.
- To make things more confusing, she did say her sisters names were Mahltsi (Mollie) and Chaika (Clara) FRANKEL not Zychofchyk. There may be more siblings, but no one knows who or why their names are different since there is no one left to ask.
- My grandmother left Russia with her two children both born in Zaslav (my late Uncle Bill/William named after Zev Wolf, and Aunt Faiga/Fannie) arrived at Ellis Island in 1922.
- My Grandfather, Sam Glazer, was born in nearby Sudilkov and came to America in 1913. His name has been spelled a variety of ways, including Schmuel Gloser, Glezar, Gleyzer. Grandpa's brother, Isaac/Itzchak went by Glizer, and left Russia for Argentina and then Israel.

Levenson, Marilyn
My husband's grandfather, Abraham Shulman (Shilman) was from Zaslov. His father was Volya (Zev) Shilman. Beyond that we have no knowledge of extended family. Abraham's second marriage was in Kishenev, Moldava in 1903 and the couple immigrated to U.S. in 1905/06. There was a short first marriage to Elka Sechser whose father resided in Ludikow, Poland. The child of that first marriage immigrated in 1921.
In the visitation book for Grandmother Shulman (Abe's 2nd wife) several people with the last name Zaslov are listed. My husband and his older sister don't know if or how those people might be related.
My family is also related to the Gilmans and the Rosenshteins by marriage.

Levin, Guy F.
Records show my great-grandparents coming from Zaslav, Volhynia.
My great-grandfather was Noach Yitzchok (Noah Isak) Leibson; born in 1873, he came to Philadelphia in 1911 with 15-year-old son Shmuel. His parents' names, from the gravestone and if I recall correctly an immigration record, were Menachem Mendel and Perel.
My great-grandmother (Isak's wife) was Eva/Yocheved Gorsky, born 1877. She came to Philadelphia in 1914 with the other four children, one of whom was my paternal grandfather Moshe Mendel (Max). Yocheved's parents were Moshe and Chenke Gitte.
I would like to learn when Isak and Yocheved married; birth records; records pertaining to their siblings if any and the abovementioned parents.
I have sent a query to the Khmelnitzki regional archives (in Ukrainian using electronic translation and little knowledge of Russian) recently, but in the past my queries to Ukrainian archives have not borne fruit.

His son, Moyshe, back from Krasnostav to Izyaslav in year 1930. Everybody were killed there in 1941, including my grands, aunt, and her children. The surname of Clara Kaplun's husband is unknown.
Lorber, Sam
My great grandfather’s family was from Izyaslav (Zaslav pre-WWI) They immigrated to the US in the 1890s. Zalman (ben Akiva) Rudman, his wife Breine, and their children Shaul, Bessie, Annie, Kate, and Nathan settled in St. Louis where there were other Rudman relatives from Zaslav.
Mintzer, Evelyn
I believe my grandparents or great-grandparents were originally from there. My father Joe Sirota was raised in Mikulin and after the programs the family was resettled in Gritsev. They are very close to Izyaslav. My father's first cousin was from Izyaslav.
My father came to the US in 1921 and all his immediate family that remained was killed in 1941.
My sisters and I went to the Ukraine about 18 years ago and we did go to Izyaslav.

My relatives in Zaslav/Izyaslav were Baronbaums. My great-grandmother Basche married my great grandfather Jacob Kramer(not his original name) and came to the U.S. in the early 1900's. There are some Baronbaums buried in the cemetery there.
My mothers fathers side of the family, the Katzman's came from Berezdov. Most of them except for my great grandparents, Issac and Esther Katzman, who were murdered in a pogrom in about 1919, came to the U.S. between 1902-1922.

Ruthfield, Richard
My family originally came from Slavuta. My grandfather married a women Freidel Bancik from Izyaslav. The surname was Banchik. Her father was Jhuda and her mother was Rukhl. My grandfather was surname Rudfeld. At this point, I must refer you to Yad Vashem. I refer you to a Banchick relative who resides in Tarzana California. Jeff and Raisa Banchick. The following is the last info I have for them. They have reported information to Yad Vashem. I would be interested in the results of your research for Banchik and Rudfeld. I have census info from Izyaslav in the 1800’s.
Sax, Arielle
I know that is where my Orenstein/Horen family was from- but am not sure who was left there by the time WWII came. My great great grandmother, her children, her (at least) 2 sisters and 1 brother, as well as 2 children of her husband's brother made their way to St. Louis starting in the late 1890s. Her husband had already passed before she left. Some of her children were married with children of their own before they left. I am sure that she left behind family, but I'm not exactly sure who. My great great grandfather went by the name of Orenstein, and his brother and sister (I'm sure there were more than the 2 we know about) were Horen. Some of the manifests from Ellis Island I've found say they were Horen though.
My great great grandfather's sister, Hannah Horen, married a man by the name of Brown/Braun. They had a son who married a Rosinstrom/Rosenstrom daughter (Rosinstrom was the maiden name of Hannah's niece in law). That couple had a son and a daughter, Minzie/Mincie who the story has it, was supposed to go meet someone at a rendezvous point to get papers to be able to leave Europe and never made it.
I wish I knew more!

Seidenberg, Mel
My great grandparents, Leiba and Gnesse Applebaum lived in Zaslov, Ukraine. They had 6 children that I know of Annie Applebaum Rosenblum, my maternal grandmother who emigrated to the Boston, Mass area in about 1897 where some of her siblings have previous emigrated to. My grandmother was the youngest. She had a sister, Lottie (Zlata) Applebaum Brin whose husband, Joseph Gotland Brin, died when she was pregnant with her 3rd child, and came to Boston in about 1908, Her children were Sarah Brin Weisberg, Alexander Brin and Joseph Gotland Brin. Alexander and Joseph(he was a speech professor at Boston U), but they bought the Boston Jewish Advocate, a weekly Jewish newspaper in English, in about 1920 from Jacob De Hass, the secretary of Theodore Herzl and the paper. which isstill published, was in the family until about 10 years ago when it was sold to Grand Rabbi Korff since there were no more fmily members to run the paper. There was a 3rd sister, Hannah Applebaum Exter, and 3 brothers, Louis (Lazar) who lived in Lawrence, Mass, Barney, who never cme to the US, and Hirsch, who was married twice, and returned to Ukraine.

My Finkel family (and Leitman family) is from Izyaslav,but ... I don't have the names of anyone in Europe born after about 1850 (who didn't come here). Sorry, I wish I could help!

Spencer, David M
My Great-grandfather, Nathan Landy (bc1877 (Izyaslav)-d6/25/57 (US)), and his siblings, Zipporah/Divorah (1880-?), Isadore (1889-1947), Sophie (1891-1964), and Sarah (1895-1980), were born in Izyaslav/Zaslov. All, except Zipporah came to the US in the early 1900s. However, their father Ichiel/Yichiel (b1849 - d late 1930s) and his second wife, Chana Adler, stayed behind. Their mother, Rochel/Ruth Ginsberg (bc1860 (Kiev)-d1895) died during childbirth with Sarah. Rochel Ginsberg’s father, William Ginsberg (bc1834 (Kiev)) was allegedly a well-known rabbi.
Chana Adler also had several children, Samuel/“Sidney” (b 1896-8- d1975 (Boston), Joseph (1898), Dora (1903), Edith (1907) and Solomon (?), but only Samuel emigrated to the US and is buried near Boston in a Zaslov section of the local cemetery. Interestingly, the family lost track of the other half siblings. The only thing I heard was that one or both boys were educated engineers and "trapped” inside Russia after the revolution. I would love to find out what ever happened to them, even if it turns out that they perished in the Holocaust. I guess their surname could have also been a variant of Landy, like Landau.
