Obol
“On March 5, 1942, Jews in the Obol’tsy ghetto, Tolochin Rayon, learned about the Aktion in the neighboring hamlet of Smoly’any, Orsha Rayon. They immediately resolved to flee. At midnight, 60 prisoners under the leadership of Semen Iofik got out of the local school, where they were kept, and seized policeman Linich, who stood on guard. The escape was successful. Aron Levin, Moysha Amburg, Leonid Svistunov, Leonid Kogan, Polina Levina, Khana Iofik, and Khana Svistunov fought in the Leonov Brigade; Zhenya Levina, Vera Iofik, Valya Avrutina, Girsh Kagan, and others, in the Zaslonov Brigade. At the end of May/beginning of June 1942, the Nazis executed the remaining 100 Jews in the Obol’tsy ghetto.” (“The Quest for Rescue in Occupied Territory.” Pinkas Belarus (Memorial Book of Belarus), translated by Judith Springer, JewishGen Yizkor Book Project)
