Dear all,
I was quite stunned by the pictures of Czernowitz Jews sweeping
streets since I do not remember reading or hearing any accounts of his
specific indignity. There are accounts of forced labor but not
specifically of being made to sweep streets. If any of you have
specific recollections of this, I would appreciate them very much.
many thanks and all best, Marianne
