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

Dear Sylvie,

Congratulations, it's just amazing that you succeeded to take pictures of the burial register of Moghilev-Podolsk! I'm looking forward to reading your trip report, as Moghilev-Podolsk is still widely unexplored. Your pictures, your reports and your experience is so precious for all of us!

Thank you for your engagement and your dedication.

Shabat Shalom & Have a nice weekend!

>> Dear Friends,
>>
>> First of all let me please express my gratitude - doubtlessly in place of
>> all - to Bruce and Jerome for their outstanding engagement, demonstrated
>> once more by the new subscribers (Welcome!) in July. Bruce, have a
>> successful conference and an amazing vacation!
>>
>> In May I reported on my trip to Moghilev-Podolsk on

>> I've mentioned the proposed excavation of a mass grave in the close
>> vicinity of Moghilev-Podolsk. Today I received a mail from Vladimir
>> Kolchanov, my friend and contact on site, which reads as follows:
>>
>> "Dear mr. Hauster. It`s Vladimir from Ukraine, town Mogilev-Podolsky
>> of Vinnitsa region. I`ve seen my friend the teacher of history at the
>> Economic college. He informed me that the excavation has begun. They
>> found mass burings. Even the mayor of the town took part in it with the
>> spade. You remember the place, it`s on the mountain near the settlement
>> Solnechny, the field where nothing grows. He told me that the
>> investigation commission was organized to investigate the crime. So
>> it`s short info from my friend Valeriy Voitovich, the history teacher.
>> As a deputy he has the room in the manicipuletat (town authority). The
>> weather is hot these days and continue till the middle of August.
>> With the best regards, Vladimir"
>>
>> The precise position of the mass grave is marked on a map, displayed on the
>> above mentioned (German) post. It seems that the hypothesis of Valeriy
>> Voitovich, the history teacher of Moghilev-Podolsk proves to be true. It's
>> terrible, but very important at the same time, as up to 25,000 people have
>> been massacred and buried on site.
>>
>> Sylvie Reicher Gsell just returned from a trip to Bucharest, Bukovina and
>> Moghilev-Podolsk. I'm currently preparing additional reports on
>> Moghilev-Podolsk, but should in the meantime any member of our group
>> organize a journey to Moghilev-Podolsk in the near future, it would be great
>> to contact the local representatives in order to get additional data on the
>> progress of the excavation works and their results.
>>
>> In this respect, I would be pleased to advise and assist.
>>
>> Best wishes for now!
