Death of Gedalyahu Kaplan

By a record that probably names him, he probably died in the Holocaust, at Auschwitz.

A record that probably names him, from the Pruzhany memorial book (Pinkes fun finf fartilikte kehiles: Pruzshene, Bereze, Maltsh, Shershev, Selts (1958)), says:

The paper did not print this death. It is known from the record on this page.

A computer (AI) turned most of the paper's issues into text and matched up the names, and no person has checked them yet, so a name here may belong to someone else with the same name.
