Batya Turezky
In 1935, Batya Turezky immigrated from Poland to Israel, joining three of her brothers who had previously immigrated to Israel. She left behind the rest of her family in the city of Baranovichi, Poland.
In July of 1941, the Nazis entered Baranovichi and killed her family by gunshot. Her brother, Leibush Turezky, was one of the first 73 people killed when the Nazi’s arrived. Batya lost her parents, Esther and Yekutiel Turezky, her sister-in-law, Mina and her three children when they were later shot at the local train station.
