Microsoft CEO pays unofficial visit to Pinsk
Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer has paid an unofficial visit to Pinsk, Brest region, where his grandfather and great-grandfather on the maternal side lived.
Iosif Liberman, leader of the local Jewish community who accompanied the Microsoft CEO in Pinsk, told BelaPAN that Mr. Ballmer had arrived together with his sister on October 25, with the one-day visit being his gift to her on the occasion of her 50th birthday.
The two visited an exhibition of Jewish artists at the Museum of Belarusian Palessye, the grave of their great grandfather at a Jewish cemetery, the building that was once their cousin’s bakery and the synagogue where Mr. Ballmer talked with Rabbi Moshe Fima.
The local Jewish community presented a candle stick from Israel, other souvenirs, as well as books and pictures about Pinsk, to the guests, Mr. Liberman said.
