Chapeau to Berti's son in law for locating this treasure, and to Berti for placing it on our blog . Yes, In Czernowitz we knew a few of them - of course after March 1944 - but most we read for the first time. It is heart rendering when thinking of the circumstances they were composed in and when thinking of the horrible circumstances they depict
I believe it is a great credit to have them on our blog, because many of us had families there that were exterminated in the ghettoes, the camps and the "industrial facilities" serving the "thousand years reich"
Thanks Edgar for drawing our attention to them.
Mordecai
