END

 I didn’t know if my presentation would ever end, especially since I began corresponding with Nesvizh survivors and friends of Pini, and began learning about my cousin Pini.  The research helped me discover my family and those who knew them at first-hand.  And the research brought home the stark reality: my sister and I and our respective families are the sole remnants of the Szwejds of Nesvizh.

To obtain more information, view the Nesvizh homepage on the Internet:
Nesvizh. http://www.jewishgen.org/shtetlinks/nesvizh/nesvizh.html
Selections of the memorial book of Nesvizh, Sefer Nieswiez, is available in English translation by accessing the Internet:  http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/nesvizh/index.html
I own a copy of this tome.
