Yankel/Iancu  LITMAN
and
Boris/Bora LITMAN

Subject: Russian memorial site for dead / missing soldiers of WWII

Hello all,

the site I mentioned in my previous email to Lisa is this one here:

http://www.obd-memorial.ru/

It is in Russian only but I managed to search for my relative with the help of Steve Morse's site:

http://stevemorse.org/russian/eng2rus.html

I transliterated the name I was looking for, copied the transliteration and pasted it into the search field on the Russian site.

(I did this with all variations offered by the transliteration programme).

The surname is the first search field; of the two buttons in the search mask, hit the button on the left to search.

The table of results - in my case three entries - contains name plus date of birth, date of death, place of birth (if known) - and is fairly easy to read, if necessary, using the reverse transliteration on Steve Morse's site (http://stevemorse.org/russian/rus2eng.html)

If you click on a name in this list, the scan of the original document from which the entry was retrieved will show up.

And reading these was the easiest part, as "my" documents were in German :-)

The two people I was looking for were Victor and Sami TAMLER from Putila, of which I knew that they had been drafted by the Russians when retreating from Bukowina in 1941 - and never came back. Victor and Sami were my grandfather Ernst TAMLER's first cousins.

This site delivered three results for Sami, who seems to have died as a prisoner in camp Budesti. These are the first and so far the only documents I managed to find for Sami - so the effort of transliterating etc. was well worth it. :-)

Kind regards,

Dana
