son resident Louis Pozez
did not know the fate of his
family.
He had an idea — how could
they have escaped the Nazi death
camps? — but knew none of the
details.
And then a long-distance ac-
quaintance named Harold
Berry traveled to Europe and
returned with a list.
The list includes the
names of more than 12,000
Jews, including the Pozezin-
lfa°
sky family, who had resided
in the Brest-Litovsk ghet-
to. It is the first copy of the
newly discovered list to
come to the United
States.
Harold Berry's own
journey to research his
past, a journey that took
him to Brest-Litovsk,
Working with the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee, he made
plans to leave for Brest-Litovsk
on Oct. 22, 1994. But first, he
called his friend Lou Pozez.
The two had come to know

The Berrys found the list.
began years ago when he accom-
panied an aunt to visit the grave
of his great-grandmother.
Mr. Berry, of Bloomfield Hills,
knew his great-grandmother's
husband, Yaakov, had been
buried in Palestine, where he had
immigrated in the 1920s. In 1991,
"it suddenly occurred to me I
ought to find out where he was
buried."
He had nothing but a name —
Yaakov Kupferberg — but that
was enough. Israeli authorities
managed to find the grave in less
than three hours.
Mr. Berry decided his next step
would be to visit the Polish town
where his grandparents had
lived. "I wanted to see and touch
it for myself," he said. "My desire
to establish a vicarious recollec-
tion impelled me to want to make
the trip."

mutual acquaintance at
Congregation Shaarey
Zedek. The connection
was Brest-Litovsk.
Both men had roots in
the Ukrainian city that
for years was a center of
Jewish culture and edu-
cation. Much of Mr.
Berry's family was from
the town, and his moth-
er had spent the first
two years of her life
there. Mr. Pozez was
born in Brest.
Mr. Pozez had asked Mr. Berry
to secure a copy of the Brest-
Litovsk ghetto list, which was dis-
covered in files after the breakup
of the Soviet Union. His purpose
was twofold: the list would be a
valuable resource for Holocaust
researchers in the United States
and Israel, and it might offer in-
formation about the fate of Mr.
Pozez's own family.
Mr. Berry arrived in Warsaw
on a dark, rainy day. From War-
saw, he and his wife took the 4:15
a.m. train to Brest-Litovsk. It was
a three-and-one-half-hour jour-
ney.
Mr. Berry found little re-
mained of the once vibrant Jew-
ish community of Brest. (In the
early part of the century, two-
thirds of the town's 60,000 resi-
dents were Jews. Today, several
