"Shunya Shapira, the beautiful and strong that we all loved. We liked him for his lovely mischief, kindness and innocent laughter. He loved music with all the warmth of his heart. He was the youngest in the group and we called him Der Muzinik (the youngest son). He was happy that he was able to be a member of the group, a matter that brought him satisfaction and pleasure."
-- Korets Yizkor Book
Shuyna Shapira was taken from his family by the local Ukrainians in August 1941 and sent with a group of 350 men from Korets to Sochovola. They were forced to build roads and then were slaughtered or buried alive in the Sochovola forest. A memorial was erected to their memory (see Cemeteries and Monuments page).
From the Shapiro family of 25 people, only 3 survived.
