This gravestone of Shlomo Moshe
Barelkowski can be found in Narewka's
Jewish Cemetery. According to
the inscription (see translation below,
contributed by David Feldman),
Barelkowski had served as a rabbi in Narewka
for many years and, although he is
the subject of a testimony
submitted to Yad Vashem's
Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names,
Barelkowski died in 1933, a few years
before the beginning of World War II and
the German invasion of Eastern Poland (Russia).
He also appears on the Grodno Gubernia
1912 Voters List (Narewka).
