Re: [Cz-L] Edi Wagner

Thank you Gabriele and all others who answered me.
I need the information for signboards at the cemetery.
I found the gravestone of Edi Wagner, in good shape and in the area
which was cleared .
I urgently need information about David Falik.
Also whether the mass grave in the cemetery containt the bodies of
people shot individually or executed as a large group.
Please all, do not sent me sites where I can get the information, just
the information.

Thanks and best regards from Czernowitz,

Mimi
