Fisher/Shapiro Family
| |
Moshe Leib Shapiro had at
least two daughters that we know about, Sora Rivka and Shayna, as well
as a son Meir Yitzchak. Sora Rivka married Shimon Berkal
(grandparents of our photo contributor Arky) and Shayna Shapiro married
Berel Segal.
[Sora Rivka
Shapiro Berkal died of cholera in 1917 while the family was in exile
from Lithuania in Simferopol, Russia.]
Moshe's sister, Sara Shapiro, married Elihenoch Fisher. Sara
Shapiro Fisher was an aunt of Sora Rivka Berkal and Shayna Segal.

Mordechai
(Motke) Fisher, son of
Sara Shapiro and Elihenoch Fisher, who was a well known baker in Ushpol.
During the Holocaust, he was taken to
the cemetery with one of his brothers and shot in a small gully behind a
row of graves which is still evident today. His sister escaped a house
to house search by running into the woods and joining a group which
managed to reach Russia. She was the only member of her family to
survive and lives in Israel today. |

the wife of Yosef Moshe
Fisher, son of Sara Shapiro and Elihenoch Fisher.

killed in the Holocaust.
