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

(Corrected)

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.

A memorial stone was 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 east of the town
center (on the opposite side of Vashkivtsi from Banyliv, which is to the
west) that is in sight of the monasteries on the nearby Carpathian hills

Here is the link to the photo of the stone:

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.
