RE: [Cz-L]Auschwitz, Seventy Kilometers West of... (Kraków - 4745 km)

Dear Merle, Dear Stephen, Dear Shula,

Thank you all for your so consolatory and encouraging comments on my posting "Auschwitz, Seventy Kilometers West of Krakow".

Your hints, dear Merle, are highly appreciated. A Page of Testimony at Yad Vashem was created by my late father,

http://namesfs.yadvashem.org/YADVASHEM/21030810_273_5131/154.JPG

I contacted the Yad Vashem Archives already, but I still have to contact the Bad Arolsen Archives and the USHMM in Washington.

Thank you once again and warmest wishes to all of you!
