Searching for KIRZNER in the KLN Area
KIRZNER Holocaust Victims
In the 1980's and 1990's, Belarus compiled and published book-length histories -- Pamyat = Memory -- of about 40 of its municipalities. By many reports these were carefully compiled by professional historians, accurate and not unduly propagandized. Published in the Belarusian language, not generally available outside Belarus, these have not been systematically translated to English.
The Pamyat book for Kletsk raion (district):
Памяць: Клецкі раен: Гiсторыка-дакументальная хронiка.
Belarus: Мастацкая лiтаратура, 1999.
ISBN 9789850204868, 9850204869.
The book is just over 600 pages in length and includes an alphabetic list Victims of Mass Extermination of Jews in Kletsk, pages 418 thru 443. The final page is devoted to nearby villages: Holynka, Zaostrowicze, and Siniawka.

For adventurous researchers: images of 22 of the Pamyat series books --but not that of Kletsk-- may be viewed courtesy of the Internet Archive, here. These 22 include the 442 page Pamyat book for Lyakovichi, here. Does this include mentions of KIRZNERs?
