Charles Kushner will finance the construction of the memory wall for those who died in the Jewish ghetto.

Father of Jared Kushner - Charles - has already donated to Navahrudak historical museum, and now intends to finance the construction of the memory wall for those who died in the Jewish ghetto, Radio Svaboda reports.

The roots of the Kushners come from Navahrudak.

"I am the grandson of Holocaust survivors," Jared Kushner, Ivanka's husband (she is the daughter of the current US President Donald Trump), wrote on pages of The New York Observer, which belongs to him. - On December 7, 1941, on the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Nazis surrounded the Havahrudak ghetto and brought its population in two lines: those who should die - to the rights, those who will survive - to the left. My grandmother's sister Esther rushed to hide herself in a neigbouring house. The guy who saw her running away, pulled her out, and the woman was among approximately 5100 Jews who died in the first massacre in Havahrudak. In 1943 year before Jewish New Year 250 people-all that remained from 20 thousand of Jewish population of the city wanted to escape through an underground passage they dug, which led behind the fence. They cut off electricity from the floodlights and removed nails from a tin roof, so it did not rattle in the wind and could stifle a noise.

Grandmother and grandfather of Jared Kushner paternal met in Belsky brothers' squad during the war in the Hrodna region. Yosef Berkovich and Raisa Kushner (Joseph took his wife's surname, because he himself came from a very poor family) managed to escape from the Jewish ghetto in Navahrudak and reach guerrillas.

Jared has a younger brother and two sisters. Their father, Charles, who became a billionaire, regularly visits places where his parents could survive during the Holocaust, and takes his grandchildren with him.
