The last I heard about my first cousin in Dneiperpotrovsk was that he was fine in the early 1950’s, that he had four sons, and that it was dangerous for him to have my mother write him.  I’ve don’t everything I can think of to find a link to the family – Kaganovich – even appeared on a family search program coming out of Moscow.    Not a word.  I’ve found other people names Alexander Kaganovich, but they’re either my distant cousins and they live in the US or they are not related.  

I’m still looking. 

The last I heard there are 150000 Ukrainian refugees looking for relatives
