Re: [Cz-L] Bila 400 memorial.

Hi Jerome,

Looking at the list, I can tell you, for a fact, that 140 people and not 240
(men, women and children) were massacred in MILIEVO by the villagers and
Benderovtzes.

I was there in 1988 and found no monument, just a field of vegetables on top of

the mass-grave.

Mimi et al.

On Ehpes, in the Database section, there is a table of 1941 mass burial sites
that Natasha Pechenkina sent me some years ago. Maybe this will be of help to
you:
