Re: [Cz-L] The Bishop of the Ukrainian church

Miriam (Mimi) Taylor <mirtaylo_at_indiana.edu>

Dear Ruthi,

Someone else who, I think, actually was hidden with the bishop's consent
in the bishop's residence, has applied to Yad Va-shem, to have the title of
"righteous gentile" bestowed on Tit Simidrea. Yad Va-shem is very careful
in it's research, before bestowing this title. Some accusations, have been
made against Tit Simedrea, that he on occasion made anti-Semitic remarks.

If you are sure that the bishop gave your grandfather a letter,
declaring your grandfather a "needed citizen", please write
to Yad Va-Shem and inform them. The person to contact is:

Irena Steinfeldt
Director, Righteous Among the Nations Department
Yad Vashem
P.O.B. 3477
91034 Jerusalem
Tel: 972-2-6443 521
Fax: 972-2-6443 743
email: irena.steinfeldt_at_yadvashem.org.il
www.yadvashem.org

All the best,

Mimi
