Re: [Cz-L] Drawing of a Mr. Landmann who died in Transnistria.‏

I agree with Hardy that: "this picture has symbolic value and represents
the plight of Transnistria better than any story".
We do not know whether Erwin Schafler was, or was not in Transnistria.
Since the drawing is signed January 4, 1942, between Scazinet and
Moghilev,
we should assume that he was.

I checked the 1936 Address book. There were at the time 3 Isaac Landmann
in Czernowitz; a watchmaker, a shopkeeper and a clark.
In Czernowitz any of the three could have been an intellectual.
