Children We Remember

 

Lidiya Rozova was born in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine (USSR) in 1935 to Lev (Leonid) Rozov and Bluma Rozova. She had brother Michail born in 1937. During the WWII the family was probably evacuated from in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine to Stavropolsky Krai (the territory of the North Caucasus).  The German army invaded this region in August 1942 and immediately started an extermination of the Jewish population residing there (most of them were refugees from western parts of USSR.) Lidiya and her family were murdered there in September 1942.

Lidiya was remembered in a bat mitzvah ceremony at Beth El Synagogue, NJ, on May 24, 2025.
Henriette Lena Blok was born on October 31, 1935, in Enschede, The Netherlands to Abraham (Arnold) and Johanna nee Weijel. Henriette had brother Leo Joseph, (born July 14, 1939) and baby brother Johnny (born November 11, 1942). During WWII, they lived at 3, Barneveldstraat in Hague, The Netherlands. They were deported to Westerbork Assembly and Transit Camp, The Netherlands on May 1, 1943, and from there the family was deported to the Sobibor Extermination Camp on May 25, 1943, where they were all murdered.

Henriette was remembered in a bat mitzvah ceremony at North Suburban Synagogue, IL, on September 6, 2025.
