SRG member Paul J. Blank translated the testimony of Menachem [Bretschneider] Bartel. Paul is the grandson of Yoel Blank and Ester Leiber (or Leibhardt) of Lanovitse. He visited Skala and Lanovitse in the summer of 2006 and noted that Lanovitse is "right down the road from Skala." His grandmother Ester's sister Sheindel married Avraham Bretschneider, moved to Skala, and had four children: Hersh, Aron, Edzia, and Menachem. This is the story of their struggle to survive during the Holocaust. All but Menachem perished.
