biographical history: After escaping the Mir ghetto in August 1942 with his father, Jack Sutin (1923-2017) organized a small band of Jewish partisans and lived in a small bunker where he was eventually reunited with Rochelle Szleif (1924-2010). They first met at the beginning of the war at a Soviet school. Rochelle found Jack after fleeing a ghetto when her mother and sisters were shot, swimming across the Niemen River, and working for abusive Russian partisans. The couple remained in the forest until the end of the war and were married in a Jewish ceremony in the Soviet Union. They then lived in the Neu Freimann DP camp, where Jack worked as both camp administrator and photojournalist for the Yiddish newspaper"Jidisze Cajtung" Their daughter Cecilia (now Dobrin) was born in the camp. The family immigrated to the US in August 1949. https://www.startribune.com/obituaries/detail/178855/
