I was born in Poltava on March 30 1989 and my great great grandfather on my mothers side was a Rav in Poltava. He and the Rebbitzin was killed by the Germans and Ukrainians helping them. I've been trying to find him and her on yad vashem and have had no look maybe someone can help me. His name is Volk and his last name is Karminksy. We are not hundred percent on the first name, but his sons name was Israelov Volkovich Karminksy,although his legal name was Alexander or Shura who was my great grandfather. Reply
