I would like to mention that almost 100% of the people deported to the
Cariera were people with Popovici authorizations that were deleted by
Calutesu.

Dear all,
Samuel Flohr was imprisoned in Cariera de piatra at the same time as Selma
Merbaum, Alfred Kittner and Isaak Weißglas' family. Samuel Flohr had not
taken his violin with him but had it hidden in the catholic church in
Czernowitz. Theodor Weißglas had taken his instrument with him. After some
weeks the Flohr family was taken to Tulcyn and there Samuel Flohr had to
play the violin for the officers' amusement on Sunday evenings . So a
Lieutenant of Carriera de piatra "asked" Theodor to entrust Samuel Flohr his
violin so that he could give performances in Tulcyn. What the young Weißglas
did. When on 18 August 1942 the Nazis selected more than 1000 prisoners from
Cariera to send them to forced labour camps east of the bug, what meant
beeing sentenced to death, the Romanian lieutenant saved the Weißglas family
by hiding them in one of the barracks apart because of Theodor having lend
his violin to Flohr some weeks ago.
I learned about this episode while doing research for my book on Selma.
Kind regards,
Marion
