I, Myself am a descendant of the jews from Zelechow, my Surname is Cybulkiewicz, so I will start with this familys journey from Zelechow to South America.

The first Cybulkiewicz to arrive in Colombia, South America was Alter Baruch Cybulkiewicz, a shoe and boot maker. He emigrate dto Colombia in 1927, traveled by himself living his family behind, until he was stablished. His wife and Zelechow born children arrived in 1931-32.
