Moszk Dorogoj, the son of David and Nojma Dorogoj, came to Radzilow
from Rezekne, Latvia, for reasons unknown. He married Shejna Bejla
Kuberska (a Radzilow native), the daughter of Ephraim Kuberski and Masha
Kowalski, in 1911. The Dorogoj family lived on
Nadstawna Street, near the intersection with Lomzynska Street. Moszk and
his wife Szejna Bejla (nee Kuberska) had 8 children, 2 of whom died in
infancy. Moszk was a shoemaker.
Bencyjon Dorogoj
emigrated to Israel in
1936. Frume managed to escape Radzilow just as the Russians came to town
(see story below). Szyma was the first person killed in the pogroms of 1941,
on June 26. Szejna and her
remaining two children (except Kiwa), were killed on July 7, 1941.

Moszk (born 1879) and his son Kiwa
(born 1928) were hidden
on a farm owned by one of Moszk's pre-war Catholic friends (who bought
shoes from him and were also friends), in nearby Slucz, (3.6
miles NW of Radzilow). They were succesfully harbored until the end of the
war, but upon their return to Radzilow, going back to their house and
property, they were murdered. |
