Shalom (Simcha) Zorin (Hebrew: שלום זורין 1902–1974) was a Jewish Soviet partisan commander in Minsk.
[citation needed] The Germans invaded Minsk in late June 1941 and transferred the city's Jews, Zorin included, to a ghetto.
Zorin worked in a local prisoner of war camp, where he met a captured Soviet officer named Semyon Ganzenko.
Some were members of the Socialist-Zionist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair ("The Young Guard") who had escaped the Biała Podlaska ghetto.
[citation needed] In July 1944, Simcha Zorin was wounded in his leg during a battle with a retreating German unit; seven of his men were killed.
