Dear Mrs. Leibovitz,
I remember there was a bakery on the Brauhausgasse but not at No. 66. It
must have been much "higher", closer to the Siebenbuergerstrasse. Also, I
am not sure whether the information you got about the selling of the bakery
after return from Transnistria is factually correct. As far as I remember,
after Transnistria, there was no private property anymore, because the
Soviets immediately upon their return expropriated all private
businesses/properties. It must have been perhaps before 1940.
 After Transnistira I was already 18 years old.
All the best, Abraham Kogan
