[Cz-L]Re: Excavation of Mass Grave in Close Vicinity to Moghilev-Podolsk

Dear all,
I am writing my trip report in french then in english.
As I told to Bruce, I was not lucky to find mygrandmother's grave.
Mr Leonid was not very helpful, but with the Drucker maps send by Bruce, I
could help my cousin Nomy Weber to localise the grave of her grandmother
Feige Reicher.
In the Jewish Museum, Mr Leonid gave the authorisation to take pictures of a
register made by the first President of the jewish community, Mr Kaplan :
around 1100 graves are listed with a number and most of the time, first
name, name, date of birth and death, town of residence.
As soon as possible, I will give you this list : I am doing in Excel, so you
can know where it is located in the cemetary.
But the maps drawing by Drucker are very helpful also : we have to do
something with it and Mr Kaplan's register.
Now I have a question : how to clean the cemetary ??
I will give money with pleasure to cut the grass 3 or 4 times a year to
someone, but how to meet the man who will do it ?
If you have some idea, help me to organize it.
Shabat shalom
Yours
Sylvie
