susman

Mordechai Susman Trapido, the son of Shlomo Trapido, was born in 1876 in Lithuania and died in 1941 in Tartu, Estonia during the Holocaust. His family has remained in Estonia and we are lucky enough to have some wonderful photos that they are sharing. We don't know when Susman moved from Lithuania to Estonia, but are including this family here since the Trapidos are a Kupiskis family. (We do know that his grandparents died in Kupiskis, his grandmother Chaya in 1906 and his grandfather Yudel in 1910.)

We have to give special thanks to Mark Rybak and his wonderful web site, Estonian Jewry Archive, and to Grigori Trapido for permission to use these photos. (Grigori is the son of Lev and the grandson of Susman and Eta Trapido)
