Cessia Madesker Madeskier

In the ghetto in Minsk I encountered the two sisters, Deena and Sessia Modioscar, who were the sisters of one of the heroes of the Vilna ghetto, Sonia Madiasker. Dina worked as a nurse in one of the hospitals for wounded soldiers. From there she will retrieve medicine and first aid supplies for the ghetto. Her sister sessia became the contact between the resistant in the ghetto and the Soviet resistant in the Minsk region. In July of 1942, she was caught in the ghetto with her baby girl who was one year old. They were both pushed into the most dreaded “gas truck”* where they were killed when monoxide gas from the engine streamed.Cessja Madesker was born in Wilna, Poland in 1913 to Hesel and Helena.
