"Even after my ancestors made their way to the Land of Israel, Jewish history in Shklov did not end. On Yom Kippur of 1941, the Jews of Shklov were led to their slaughter by the cursed Nazis and their collaborators."In the ceremony called, "every person has a name," Rivlin explained that not all of those names are known by the world, "like the name of the baby born to Aharon and Eugenia Kapishitzi in 1941, which will never be known.
