Czernowitzers...

Rivka Spizzichino from Italy sent a most touching mail to me, which reads as follows:

Hello, my name is Rivka Spizzichino, I'm writing you from Italy hoping to have some information from you. I'm a jewish woman, and part of my family was killed during the deportation. My grandpa, he was deported in Fossoli then Auschwitz, but we know for sure he didn't die there. He was supposed to go back to Italy with a group of men, but unfortunately he decided to go back to Rome via Russia. Then on his way back home we have no idea what could ever happen to him, since he never came back to Rome. Since that time, he was and still be lost. I've been looking for him since I was 15, asking to archives and doing all I possibly could to know even a day more about his life. Recently I knew from Yad Vashem archive in Israel that he was surely still alive in Czernowitz, during 1946. Then I found you. I was wandering if you have any information, photo or any kind document that could possibly be related to him. That would either be amazing if you canl ink me to someone who possibly does. Thank you so much in advance.

PACIFICO SPIZZICHINO DI MOSE'
SPIZZICHINO E GRAZIA DI SEGNI
 
BORN IN ROME ON DECEMBER 2nd 1910
STILL ALIVE IN CZERNOWITZ ON JULY 22nd 1946

Although I think the best option would be, to research the former KGB archives in Czernowitz, please check if the name of Rivka's grandfather Pacifico Spizzichino di Mose' - What a wonderful name! - rings a bell with you!
