Thanks Hardy for reposting this , Baruch, has other names as well (Twi Dov)
- he is one of the Transnistria survivors who come to Hesed Shoshana on
Wednesdays at noon. I will be going there again this coming week to listen
to a talk of which I understand only a few isolated words and to do more
portraits of the people & get their names to go with the pics. By then I
will ask Dr. Burzuc to suggest to them to bring photos of their family or
younger selves. Dr. Burzuc told me that hardly any of these Jews lived in
Cz before the war. I think they were all happy that I came to be in their
midst.

best
Sylvia
