Ryki
We traveled to Ryki to see where Sam Bronkesh and his family had lived. We saw the street where they lived, the remains of the Jewish cemetery and we also visited sites of labor camps in Stawy and Deblin where Sam and his siblings were taken by Nazis to work as slave labor and from which they escaped to the woods.
