Barry Dow Biegun, 93, passed away peacefully on Feb. 26 at his home in Cupertino.
Barry was the son of Leah Eisenstein Biegun and Chayim Biegun. Born in Poland, Barry was only 11 years old when Soviet troops invaded Poland in 1939. Barry was part of the largely untold story of Polish citizens who were deported by the Soviet Union to Soviet labor camps at the beginning of World War II. Barry was a child when he was sent to the Siberian labor camp, known as “The Gulag,” where he remained until he was 17 years old.
After surviving the Holocaust, Barry came to the United States. Before completing his degree, he decided to join the U.S. Air Force in June 1945 and served as a staff sergeant until he was honorably discharged in August 1952. In January 1953, Barry achieved a lifelong dream when he became a U.S. citizen.

Mordechai Rindenow
Rabbi Mordechai Rindenow
The world has lost one of its brightest lights with the indescribably woeful passing of Rabbi Mordechai Rindenow.
The year was 1978 when Rabbi Rindenow, with his wife and two young children, aged 18 months and 4 weeks, drove across the country in answer to the call to teach at the Lisa Kampner Hebrew Academy in San Francisco. And there he stayed for years, forming loving friendships with his students. It was a matter of course that Rabbi Rindenow would be found at many of the most important life passages of his once-upon-a-time students now grown to adulthood.

Max Rodrigues Garcia
Max Rodrigues Garcia
Our father, Max Rodrigues Garcia, came to the United States with only hopes and dreams after surviving nearly three years as a prisoner within the Holocaust. He ultimately lived the “American Dream” and with our mother, Pat (1927-2002), they passed those hopes and dreams to us, David (1957), Tania (1960) and Michelle (1961).
Max was born in Amsterdam, June 28, 1924. He never again saw his parents, Elias and Rosetta, nor his sister Sippora, after they were murdered in 1942 and 1943. He was a prisoner of four different German concentration camps, including 18 months in Auschwitz as well as two death marches. When he was liberated by the 3rd Cavalry (U.S. Army) from a concentration camp, Ebensee, in the Austrian Alps on May 6, 1945, he was close to death but he found the strength to attach him
