after years of trying to figure out what ever happened to the children of my aunt Batya who was either murdered by the Nazis in Lida (according to the Lida Memorial book), or died later in Auschwitz with her husband (according to Yad Vashem records).  My mother had claimed that they had 3-4 children but only one is mentioned as having perished (in the Lida book).  So what happened to the others?  The name Berenzyk or Baranchik could be spelled many different ways, and only one child that I know of would have been old enough to know his family name anyway. 

My brother copied the names of some of my mother’s nephews from the ’30’s when my mother left Lida.  Motl Baranzik was probably the eldest and in his early teens by the time of the Holocaust.  Anyone have any ideas how to progress?
