Riva (Rivka) Hoffman and a friend, Brisk


The date cannot be deciphered.

Berke came from Kamenets. He changed his name to Shmida in Israel. He was a seaman and member of the fishermen organization. In 1965 he was sent to a convention in Brisk.

Berke's memoir of his home town can be read in the Kamenets Yizkor Book, here in the original Hebrew and here in translation to English.

Riva taught in a Hebrew kindergarten in Wysokie Litewskie in 1937-1938.
