GITKE ELISHKEVITCH

1910 - 1942

Gitke was a Zionist, and a member of the "He'chalutz" "Achshara" (prepatory program for kibbutz life in Lida). She met her husband Lazer in the program, and they got married there as well. She worked hard with the other members of the program, but they could not get a certificate from British Palestine in order to join the other pioneers in Israel. She was killed with her husband and friends in Lida.
