Moshe Schneerson from Lyadi had brothers, sisters, he must have had at least dozens of cousins. There were other Chabad dynasties in Kopust, Bobruysk, etc. Where are these people, no one survived Gulag and Nazis? They are intentionally forgotten by the modern Chabad, as if nothing ever happened. But how can the obliteration of that family be so complete?
I just noticed that you already included the info on this family line in another, later post. Sorry for being redundant. What I can add is that members of this line currently live in the US.
I'm in touch with the descendent if one of the converted Shneersons. Her last name is Orlov. According to her family oral history, her ansectors moved to St. Petersburg to work in high fashion for the aristocrats. At some point they converted. Here is a link to a Russian language essay about this branch of the family:
“Anatoly's father, a descendant of the famous Alter Rebe from Lubavichi, a merchant of the first guild, has houses and shops in St. Petersburg. But Anatoly himself broke up with his family. As a thirteen-year-old boy, he contacted a revolutionary circle. This became known, and he was expelled from the gymnasium. The angry father kicked his son out of the house.
“Anatoly Abramovich Shneerson was born on March 6/18, 1881 in the family of Abram Leibovich Shneerson, a St. Petersburg merchant of the first guild. Abram Leibovich was the grandson of the third Lubavitch Rebbe, Menachem-Mendel Schneerson.
“Abram Leibovich went into business. Some of his sisters and brothers were baptized and chose the professions of doctors, lawyers, pharmacists.....
“Anatoly’s Hebrew name was: Naftali Hertz.
“He was born into a Jewish family in Yekaterinoslav. His father was the owner of a fairly large manufactory store and by the school years of his son received permission to move to St. Petersburg. The son's school years ended very early, since he was expelled from the gymnasium from the 3rd grade due to his refusal to kneel during the memorial service for the tsar (Alexander III).”
