Re: [Cz-L] Rose (Roza) Dauber's Trauma

During my visit to the Bukovina town of Vashkivtsi (Waschkoutz am
Cheremosh), where my father was born, in May 2010, former Mayor
Mikhaelo Sydor took us to a field on the edge of town where Jews were
murdered and buried in 1941.

Attached is a photo of the stone erected in that place. Leonid
Lifshitz, who makes a living finding and maintaining individual
gravesites in the Czernovitz Jewish cemetery and has close ties to the
city's Chabad Lubavitch rabbi, told us he personally had pushed for
the marker to be installed; he may have more details about the
killing. The stone is in a grove of trees surrounded by farmland, off
a road west of the town center that is in sight of the monasteries on
the nearby Carpathian hills.

We visited the site again this past October during the time my family
and I cleared the Vashkivtsi Jewish cemetery with the help of Mayor
Sydor, Alexander Tauscher and several local workmen.

This massacre presumably took place at the start of the
German/Romanian ethnic cleansing, but before the town's remaining Jews
were deported to Transnistria, The "Geschichte der Juden in der
Bukovina" does not make reference to this event. This may be the
traumatic event in the corn field remembered by Rose Dauber.
