Some miscellaneous Kurlandski notes.
Other Kurlandskis
Here are some Kurlandski people that may or may not be related to me.
Pincus Kurlandski
Sofia Kurlandskaya
A little distracted at the time, I ran into a reference to a Kurlandski, but failed to write out all the information. All I know is that this is a quotation from a book about a Russian Jewish soldier who started a successful revolt from one of the death camps--he was a POW in a Nazi prison camp first:
There was a connection between the Minsk ghetto underground and the Shirokaya camp. A major connecting person between the inmates of the camp and the underground movement in Minsk was Sofia Kurlandskaya, a member of the ghetto underground, who was secretary and translator to the head of the camp; as a member of the underground, her assignment was to locate prisoners in the camp who could be sent to the partizans, and to help them escape the camp and reach partisan units in the forest . . . (17 December 2012)
I'm not sure what the date in the quotation refers to. All I know is that I made a note of it.
