Re: [Cz-L] Deportation to Transnistria Database and Register Photos on Ehpes

Thank you Jerome and Noemi, for these deportation lists.
I found the names of close relatives, of people I only heard about
from my parents, familiar names of unknown people and also,
Selma Meerbaum, the young poet.
Her name is spelled the Romanian way "Zelma".

Children are not listed. My close relatives had 3 children, who were
deported with them. I believe that these relatives and Selma Meerbaum
were in Cariera de Piatra, which might confirm that all the people
listed,
were sent to Cariera de Piatra.
