RE: [Cz-L] Koctyntsi & Drachyntsi (WEININGERs and RIBNERs)

Leonie and Marc...

Your mails and reports on Kostyntsi (Costesti) and Drachyntsi are highly appreciated and any testimonies, photos, etc. most welcome. Please keep us all informed about your findings, as information on the Holocaust in the rural areas of Bukovina in July 1941 is very rare and therefore most precious.

Warmest wishes from the Netherlands!
