local family has a message
for those unable to locate
Russian relatives missing
since World War II: Don't
give up hope.
For years after the war, mem-
bers of the Sosin family, who had
immigrated before the fighting be-
gan, tried to find loved ones re-
maining in the country they once
called home.
Letters to Russia, which helped
keep close ties among separated
brothers and sisters, were re-
turned unopened. Red Cross as-
sistance was sought, but workers
could not establish any trail. Gov-
ernment inquiries proved fruit-
less.
Then, this past fall, some 50
years later and just before Rosh
Hashanah, members of the East-
ern European branch of the fam-
ily seemed to be inscribed back
into the Book of Life through the
efforts ofa younger generation.
Ironically,-the find was not in
Detroit or the faraway city that
the Michigan Sosins left behind.
It was in New York, where Amer-
ican and Russian cousins, un-
known to one another, had settled.
The first contact was accom-
plished through an answering
machine.
The call was made by Bella
Gurok, who had come to the
United States four years ago
with her parents, sister, broth-
er-in-law and niece. Ms. Gurok's
late grandmother, Pasha, was
the sister of Esther Sosin We-
instein of Oak Park and hu-
morist Max Sosin of West
Bloomfield, both brought to De-
troit as teen-agers by their late
brother, Nathan.
Ms. Gurok began her detec-
tive work by going through all
the New York phone books, call-
ing person after person with the
family name until she reached
Beth Sosin, the great-niece of
Ms. Gurok's grandmother as
well as of Esther Sosin Wein-
stein and Max Sosin.
After verifying the information
recorded in the phone message,
Beth Sosin, a former Detroiter,
met with her cousin, and the two
young women were fascinated
with the idea that they could
