    Great website, I like the way you organized it. I need to get a better scanner! Your site is an inspiration for me to re-organize & simplify. Thank you for sharing.

    A VERY impressive website.
    Beautifully done !!
    I was directed here from an article in the September 23, 2007 issue of “Nu? What’s New” published by Gary Mokotov.

    At that time he wrote:

    “A Different Way to Display a Family History
    We all struggle when deciding the best way to create a family history website. An unusual solution, developed by Elliott Malkin, can be found at http://www.dziga.com/victor. ”

    Your work is an inspiration to us all.

The Rezinoier Progressive Verein

Hyman was buried next to his first wife Rose in the Rezinoier Progressive Verein section of Jewish Waldheim Cemetery in Chicago. The verein was a landsmanshaftn, or immigrant aid society, associated with Hyman’s home town of Rezhnoy, in the Grodno province of the former Russian Empire.

While the cemetery remains, the verein as an organization no longer exists. It is now managed by the sexton Silverman and Weiss.

The Wisconsin granite slabs, at a height of 4′8″, were made by Kornick Monuments, a small business still owned and operated by the Kornick family in the Rogers Park area of Chicago.

Leonard Malkin visits his grandparents' graves in 1997.
