Dear Edgar,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
What you are doing now, was done for years by many of our
ancestors during their migration from Galicia to Bukowina.
My grandma Sali Thau is a good example of this: she was born in
1884 in Zablotow (she didn't know personally Manès
Sperber), gave birth in Sereth in 1910, she then gave birth again in
Czernowitz in 1913.
Thank you Edgar for the interesting pictures.
Many thanks to Dr. Simon Geissbühler for his paper on: Zablotow:
Manès Sperber’s East Galician Shtetl, the
Holocaust and a Forgotten Cemetery
I think her parents were buried at Zablotow cemetery, so it was very
interesting to look at your pictures of this place.
