Re: [Cz-L] jewish museum and exhibit in Chernivtsi

My late mother, Pearl Spiegel Fichman, had made some undated working notes,
I think using books in her library, trying to estimate the number of Jews from
 Romania that had lived and died through deportations to Transnistria and
Transilvania (her spelling, if I am reading her writing correctly). I came
across the notes yesterday, going through old papers.
 
She wrote that in 1930 there were 757,000 Jews in Romania, that 135,000 died
in Transilvania and 250,000 died in Transnistria. Therefore, she calculated
that 385,000 Jews died through these deportations and 372,000 survived. She
was just making notes for herself, so I don't have the sources she used, nor
can I ask her how 'solid' these numbers were.
 
Are others on the list able to validate or correct what she was trying to
calculate?

Dear All,

I am very glad that Both Marianne and Florence will be going
to Chernivtsi to advise Natalya Shechenko on the part
of the exhibition about the holocaust. Their knowledge
and expertise will ensure that this part of the exhibition,
correctly portrays the event of that period.

At the same time, I would urge all those who have material
relevant to the whole exhibition; photographs, documents
and letters, to scan this material and send the scans
to Natalya Shevchenko. I have written her and asked her to
let us know how best to get this material to her.
I expect I will have her answer in the next few days.

Once we know how best to send the material, please send it
to her right away. It would be wrong to wait with this,
until we get the report from Marianne and Florence in June.
In the meantime search through your photographs and documents
and prepare the scans.

Best regards,

Mimi
